Combining more than 10 years of experience in ophthalmic surgery, clinical research, and refractive eye care, this ophthalmology expert witness specializes in cornea, cataract, refractive, and lens implant surgery, with additional focus on LASIK, femtosecond laser-assisted procedures, and advanced corneal reconstruction techniques. His clinical and research work involves femtosecond laser technology, corneal transplantation, keratoconus treatment, corneal collagen crosslinking, intraocular lens implantation, implantable miniature telescopes for end-stage macular degeneration, excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy, and surgical techniques for partial-thickness corneal transplantation, including advanced keratoplasty procedures and Boston keratoprosthesis applications for ocular surface disease.

Current professional responsibilities include leadership and ownership roles within ophthalmology practices, ambulatory eye surgery operations, pharmaceutical ventures, and laser eye treatment centers, along with academic appointments involving ophthalmology education and clinical instruction. He also serves as Director of Ophthalmology Rotation programs for medical students and primary care residents. Clinical experience includes cataract surgery, corneal transplantation procedures, refractive laser surgery, ocular surface reconstruction techniques, management of corneal scarring, retinal disease evaluation, and advanced corneal pathology treatment. His work has additionally involved clinical investigations related to endophthalmitis prevention, bilateral cataract surgery outcomes, OCT-guided phototherapeutic keratectomy, femtosecond laser-assisted surgical techniques, retinal treatment protocols, and FDA-approved prospective ophthalmic research studies involving corneal collagen crosslinking and cataract surgery safety outcomes.

Research and publication activities have focused extensively on refractive surgery, corneal transplantation, cataract surgery outcomes, optical coherence tomography-guided procedures, keratoplasty techniques, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal disease management, with published work appearing in peer-reviewed ophthalmology and refractive surgery journals including Ophthalmology, Cornea, Retina, Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, British Journal of Ophthalmology, and Journal of Refractive Surgery. Additional contributions to the ophthalmology field include invited presentations, grand rounds lectures, continuing medical education instruction, and presentations at national ophthalmology conferences addressing cataract surgery, refractive surgery, bilateral cataract surgery outcomes, and femtosecond laser-assisted procedures. Professional credentials include board certification through the American Board of Ophthalmology and medical licensure in Texas and New Mexico. The expert completed a fellowship in Cornea and Refractive Surgery, an ophthalmology residency, and an internal medicine internship. Educational background includes a Doctor of Medicine degree and a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. Professional organization involvement includes membership in the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, the International Society of Bilateral Cataract Surgeons, the Texas Ophthalmologic Association, the Texas Medical Association, and the Potter-Randall County Medical Society.
