Oculoplastic surgery is a specialized field of medicine that brings together two diverse sources of knowledge—plastic surgery and ophthalmology. The training to become an oculoplastic surgeon is what makes me a true eyelid expert. After four years of premedical education at Cornell University, I earned an MD degree at New York University School of Medicine. Next, I completed a one-year internship and then a three-year residency in ophthalmology and general eye surgery at the Manhattan Eye Ear and Throat Hospital. Finally, I completed a fellowship in ophthalmic plastic, reconstructive, and orbital surgery.

As an oculoplastic surgeon, I perform a range of procedures around the eyes. The most common are cosmetic blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, endoscopic brow lift and treatment of skin cancers on the eyelids. With my depth of training and experience, I comfortably treat and operate on a full range of conditions that occur around the eyes.

The most common cosmetic office procedures I perform are Botox injections, filler treatments, and laser resurfacing. I also treat styes and chalazions, dry eye, and biopsy suspicious skin growths on the eyelids.
