    Philosophy:

    Trained in the tradition emphasizing combined multi-modality and multi-specialty treatment to achieve optimal outcome, I am double fellowship trained and participate in the Divisions of Neuro-ophthalmology and Orbital/Oculoplastic Surgery as well as Skull Base teams at a busy full-time University-based practice. Our practice serves patients who I would describe as frequently requiring advanced and sub-specialized integrated care. At times, this does require support by our team of highly-selected residents for some outpatient and inpatient care. Surrounded by world-class supporting teams, we are able to provide a level of care unequalled in the State of New Jersey and surrounding areas. Particularly proud of the individual time I spend with each patient, I set a goal to provide detailed and complete individualized care and explanations. Individual attention does increase in-office and wait time; however, I have chosen to provide individualized care rather than to run a system with administrators pushing to maximize number of patients seen per day. When you enter my room, I know you have waited to see me, and I will extend the same courtesy of my time to you.
