“Knowing what works in the treatment of eyes helps us to research and develop new strategies. It’s most rewarding to be in practice now and build upon past and present expertise to develop the future of eye care. It’s important for me to be able to offer my patients effective, proven options for maintaining and optimizing their vision long into their lives.”
We proudly serve patients at our eye clinics in Tarpon Springs, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Spring Hill, Wesley Chapel and in The Villages at Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood.
