Meet the Business Owner

Ron G.

Business Owner

I spend time doing high intensity sports, spending quality time with my family and doing research and clinical trials in the latest advances in ophthalmology.

I have participated in several medical missions to Asia, South America, and Africa teaching eye surgeons how to perform corneal transplants, LASIK and cataract surgeries on their community populations. Assuring that surgeons in these countries understand how to care for these patients is critical and important in the overall improvement in health care world wide.

I recently appeared on the national TV show, «The Doctors» where I explained the dangers of storing contact lenses in water. I will be appearing again discussing other novel treatments that work. I want my work and experience to benefit those in need and try to be very informative with my patients and in my speaking engagements. I love The Doctors because they inform the public about new medical procedures and treatments. And I love my patients who give me joy.
