Specialties

Ophthalmology including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, dry eyes, conjunctivitis, chalazion. Also routine eye exams for glasses or contact lenses. My Bethesda office is located on Wisconsin Avenue just three blocks south of NIH. On the Metro Red line we are between the Bethesda and NIH stops. My DC office is at 1145 19^th St NW. I do not have a techician at my Bethesda office so will have my full attention. My choice has been to keep my practice small and I know your time is valuable which means I keep my appointment level low so that you will be seen on time.

History

Established in 1984.

I finished my residency in ophthalmology at the Washington Hospital Center in 1984 and joined Dr. William Foote in his practice located at 5225 Connecticut Ave. Dr. Foote retired in 1987 and I continued at that location until 1993 when I moved my main office to Bethesda to be associated with a group practice. In 1997 I left the group but remained at the same building on 8218 Wisconsin Ave.
