| About My Practice
Thank you for visiting our website! We developed it to provide you with up-to-date
information regarding my practice and educate you in some of the functional
and cosmetic procedures that are available. My practice is unique in
that I focus exclusively on functional and cosmetic surgery of the eyelids
and upper facial rejuvenation.
I am a native Houstonian and received a great
deal of my training in the Texas Medical Center. I attended St. Thomas
High School in Houston. I consider myself a Longhorn through and through
as I graduated from the University of Texas (UT) in Austin followed
by Medical School at the University of Texas Medical School (UTMSH)
in the Texas Medical Center. |

My internship in Internal Medicine was served at
Baylor University in Dallas. Then, I returned to Houston for my residency
in General Ophthalmology, which involved diagnosis and surgery in diseases
of the eye and surrounding tissues. I focused my energy in the highly
specialized field of plastic and reconstructive eye surgery by returning to
Dallas for a fellowship.
My first year in practice, I trained with some of the
finest specialists in the country. This included Dr. Bob Levine for
implantation of facial springs. I completed a certified training course
with Dr. Nicanor Isse in Burbank, CA for endoscopic brow lifts and upper
facial surgery. I also completed laser training with Dr. Sterling Baker
in Oklahoma City, OK who published the original articles on laser surgery
of the eyelids and face. Furthermore, I studied with Dr. Steve Mulholland
in Toronto who is one of the pioneers of the IPL (Intense
Pulsed Light) laser and facial contouring with filler injections.
Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeons of Texas, my private practice, is a new state-of-the art facility created with you in mind. I attend several continuing education meetings each year and read several medical journals each month to stay currently advised. After receiving Board Certification in Ophthalmology in 1998, I was accepted as a Fellow in the American College of Surgeons in 1999. As a member of various medical organizations, I participate in continuing medical education through Texas and Houston Ophthalmology Societies, Harris County Medical Society, and The American Academy of Ophthalmology annual meetings. I give lectures in Oculoplastic Surgery annually through University of Texas at Houston Department of Ophthalmology. |
