I firmly believe in listening to my patients and ensuring that all their concerns and questions are addressed. I want my patients to feel comfortable and at ease during their visits. My clinical interests include medical and surgical management of many eyelid disorders such as “droopy eyelids,” eyelids that are turned in or out, and uncontrollable eyelid movements, such as twitching and facial spasms. I also manage eyelid and eyebrow reconstruction following tumor removal surgery or injuries. I offer cosmetic brow lifts, upper and lower eyelid lift surgery, medical and surgical management of thyroid eye disease, and blocked tear duct treatment. I also provide pediatric eyelid and eyebrow care for issues, such as dermoid cysts, congenital eyelid abnormalities, and disorders present at birth that affect the structure, function, or appearance of the eyelids. In my free time, I love to watch movies, cook, eat at local restaurants, work out, play tennis and pickleball, and spend time with my wife and my family.
I am heavily involved in ophthalmic and oculoplastic research and have a particular interest in eyelid and orbital cancers as well as improving treatments outcomes for our most common procedures.

Duke Health contracts with most major health insurance carriers and transplant networks, including the ones listed below.

Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any co-payments, co–insurances, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with Duke, your out of pocket liability may be higher. We will contact you regarding your coverage and patient liability. If you are uninsured, learn more about our financial assistance policy.
