My love for all things “eyes” stems from a very early experience. As an infant, I was diagnosed with both strabismus and amblyopia, and thankfully I underwent successful patching and surgical treatment. As a result, I visited my ophthalmologist annually and fell in love with the specialty.
I always wanted to be a doctor, and I attended the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. After graduation, I was awarded a prestigious residency at The Harkness Eye Institute at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, where I developed my medical and surgical skills under some of the most preeminent ophthalmologists in the world. After my residency, I was accepted as a Fellow in Pediatric Ophthalmology and Ocular Oncology at the Hospital for Sick Children at the University of Toronto, furthering my training at one of the very finest hospitals specializing in all aspects of pediatrics.
A lifelong New Yorker, I grew up in Riverdale and attended The Bronx High School of Science. An alumna of Barnard College, I graduated cum laude, majoring in Music History. I play three instruments (flute, piano, and cello), but my first love is ophthalmology. I've been in practice for over 35 years and continue to love what I do.
