With advanced training and experience in pediatric specialty care, it is a joy and privilege to serve the majority of infants and children at PineCone Vision Center. My passion for this specialty is rooted in advocating on behalf of those who are often unable to articulate their own visual experience. I believe it is essential, therefore, to be grounded in evidence-based principles when making treatment decisions for these little ones.
