I enjoy being an ophthalmologist because the impact of the work I do is so immediately visible in my patients — especially after surgery.
It’s rare in medicine to see such a dramatic improvement from the moment a patient walks in. But in ophthalmology, it happens often.
Countless times, I’ve had patients tell me they haven’t seen this well in 10, 20, even 30 years — and that never gets old. It’s incredibly fulfilling to be able to provide that kind of life-changing vision improvement.
