Appointment Information
Albert Lea, MN
Hospital and Clinic
404 W. Fountain St., Albert Lea, MN 56007Provider's Bio
I treat every patient with respect and like a family member. My patients and I work as a team to formulate a personalized care plan.
While on a volunteer trip to Jamaica, as a medical student, I was inspired to become an ophthalmologist after seeing patients restore their vision after cataract surgery. This field allows me to integrate my interest in science and art to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
I am from California. In my free time, I enjoy family time, traveling, yoga, skiing, reading and learning new things.
