Biography

I enjoy providing comprehensive eye care for all children and for adults who have eye movement disorders. My special interests include strabismus (misaligned eyes), pediatric cataracts and glaucome. With the help of our excellent team of orthoptists, we evaluate and care for individuals with the needed treatments including glasses, eye exercises and/or surgery. Whether helping patients or raising my own three boys, I find joy in caring for children. I look for ways to share this excitement and medical knowledge with others including medical students and eye surgeons in training at the University of Minnesota. My wife and I volunteered in hospitals and clinics in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, India and Pakistan for almost a year. I now enjoy supporting our overseas medical partners while living here at home in Minnesota. It would be my privilege to care for you or your loved one at Park Nicollet's eye clinic.
