I have been an optometrist since 2012, serving various locations in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). My approach to eye exams is centered around dedicating ample time to each patient, ensuring that I address all their questions and concerns. In the exam room, I prioritize the patient's best interests by eliminating any potential financial conflicts of interest, such as selling glasses, supplements, or withholding pricing information for additional tests.

 My practice caters to individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and languages. I am committed to providing comprehensive eye exams to patients, even if we do not share the same language. Currently, I am fluent in English, proficient in French, and actively learning American Sign Language.

 By fostering an environment free from sales pressure and maintaining transparent communication, I strive to deliver exceptional eye care that is centered around my patients' needs and well-being.

Individualized patient care and patient education are central to my practice. I believe that effective listening and communication are integral to providing high-quality patient care.
