I think that all medical decisions require balancing risks and benefits in the context of each patient’s lifestyle and values. I want my patients to understand their diagnosis, appreciate their treatment options, and feel confident in their medical plan.
I am interested in protecting vision and health and believe in following evidence to pursue the best treatments for my patients. Sadly, not all neuro-ophthalmologic conditions have effective therapies, but I think that helping patients understand their condition and prognosis is still useful. Navigating a rough road is hard, but it’s a little easier with a map!
