Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeons of Texas

My internship in Internal Medicine was served at Baylor University in Dallas. Afterwards, I returned to Houston for my residency in General Ophthalmology, where I studied the diagnosis and management of, as well as surgery for diseases of the eye and surrounding tissues. Upon completion, I then returned to Dallas for fellowship training in order to focus my attention and energy on the highly specialized field of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the Eyelids and Ocular Adnexa (surrounding tissues).

While in my first year of practice, I completed additional training with some of the finest specialists in the country. This included Dr. Bob Levine for the implantation of facial springs, Dr. Nicanor Isse in Burbank, CA for endoscopic brow lifting and upper facial surgery, Dr. Sterling Baker in Oklahoma City, OK for laser training (he published some of the original articles on laser surgery of the eyelids and face), and Dr. Steve Mulholland in Toronto, one of the pioneers of the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser and facial contouring with filler injections.

Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeons of Texas (OPST) is my private practice, a new state-of-the-art facility created with you, the patient, in mind first and foremost. I regularly attend several continuing medical education meetings each year, and actively read numerous medical journals every month to stay currently advised. After receiving Board Certification from the American Board of Ophthalmology in 1998, I was accepted as a Fellow in the American College of Surgeons in 1999. As an active member of various medical organizations, I participate in continuing medical education through both the Texas and Houston Ophthalmological Societies, Harris County Medical Society, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology. I also give lectures in Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery annually through The University of Texas at Houston Department of Ophthalmology, and I find great enjoyment in teaching my craft to many of the physicians-in-training who work there.


	About My Practice Thank you for visiting our website! We have developed this resource in order to provide you with up-to-date information regarding the practice, and also to educate you with regard to some of the functional and cosmetic procedures, services, and products which we can offer. This practice is unique in that the focus is exclusively on functional and cosmetic surgery of the eyelids and upper face, along with non-surgical options for total facial rejuvenation. I am a native Houstonian, born and raised in town, and I attended St. Thomas High School here in Houston. Additionally, I received a great deal of my training in the nearby, internationally-recognized Texas Medical Center. I consider myself a Longhorn through and through as I completed my undergraduate studies at The University of Texas (UT) in Austin, followed by my graduate medical degree from The University of Texas Medical School at Houston (UTMSH) in the Texas Medical Center.
