make a positive difference in our patients’ lives in a matter of minutes or hours.
I have patients that at first come in a wheelchair. Af- ter cataract surgery on one eye, they come back with a walker. After the second eye, they are using a cane. Their mobility, independence and confidence are restored, as well as their sight.
Myself and associates Malcolm Ing, M.D., and Ma- rissa Matsuyama, O.D., care for patients of every age.

While on active duty, I pro- vided LASIK to our soldiers in preparation for combat deployment. After getting LASIK myself, having excel- lent vision without depending on glasses or contact lenses while in the combat theater was critical to the mission.
