Three lessons in, we’re far from the US Open, but we’re hitting more balls, making more first serves and are excited and enthusiastic about the game. It’s allowing us to get some great exercise, although some days it is like exercising in a sauna! It’s provided a welcome respite after a full day of patients or surgery. I’ll be especially grateful to Bev when toting only a small tennis duffel, rather than two full sets of clubs, on vacation in the future!

It will be written as a resource for you, so you can better understand how to care for your eyes.   The primary topic will be diseases of the eye, but it will cover much more than that.   It will explain how the eyes work and provide detail on its various structures. The goal is to help empower each person to care for and protect their vision.  As you become more informed about your eyes, you become your own vision advocate.  As an eye care professional, that is something I eagerly look forward to participating in.

A couple years ago, my wife Beverly and I took a trip to India.  The doctors were hungry to learn how they could better care for their patients and I have to admit it was incredible to experience such an earnest desire to learn.  I was able to teach new surgical procedures to Indian doctors and Bev trained the nurses on the latest techniques.

It was awesome to be able to share that experience with my wife.  Bev was actually my surgical scrub nurse for a number of years when I first opened my practice, and she continues to work in other areas of the practice today.  Many couples find it challenging to work together, but we believe it has strengthened our marriage in some ways.  When we come home from work and talk about our day, we “speak the same language”.  We’ve always had a lot of synergy and work very well together.  And that synergy carries over to the kitchen!

We enjoy golf and boating on occasion, but cooking is definitely one of our favorite pastimes.  We have yet to take a cooking class, but we love to find new recipes in trendy cookbooks or online. Dinner time is always exciting at our place as we rarely prepare the same meal twice.  We absolutely love Mediterranean food and many weekends we’ll spend hours preparing a meal.  For the holidays we often turn down invitations because we’d much rather do the cooking ourselves and it’s typical for us to have several friends and neighbors over for dinner in addition to our family!

Continuing the new-found family tradition of a career in medicine, our daughter, Christina is currently attending an accelerated nursing program at NYU, expected to graduate in this year.  I couldn’t be more proud of her…well, maybe just a little – if she chooses a specialty in eyecare!

You want to know how you’ll do after vision correction or cosmetic procedures. We understand your concern. That’s why we provide you with actual outcomes with people just like you. But don’t take our word for it! See what our patients have to say.

If you’ve done it and love it…

We sincerely appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us and invite you to take a moment to tell us why you chose us and what’s the best part about having LASIK, Lens Replacement or Cosmetic Treatment.  We hope you’ll want to share how we helped you, how we treated you, and most importantly, how you see, how you look and how you feel!
