It is with a heavy heart that I share that I will no longer be full-time at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity I've had to work at CHLA. I have truly valued my colleagues and the collaborative environment we shared. I've learned a tremendous amount during my time there, and I will deeply miss caring for my pediatric patients.

The good news is that I am not leaving completely! I will continue to see patients part-time at Children's Hospital Los Angeles - Valencia location.

My decision to transition was a difficult one, but I have accepted a new position at Clinica Del Camino Real Fillmore in Ventura County. In this new role, I will be serving as one of the few pediatric eye care practitioners in the county, which I hope will allow me to have a significant impact on the community.

Additionally, I will also be continuing my role as a professor at University Eye Center Los Angeles. For those patients who wish to continue seeing me there, I plan to hold clinics on select Saturdays going forward.
