Personal Code of Conduct

I commit to provide professional medical treatment with an inclusive outlook, through considering the specific conditions of each patient and providing optimal solutions to any problem – medical and surgical treatments both. One of the important benefits of performing eyelid surgery is me being an expert ophthalmologist, with an extensive understanding and knowledge of ophthalmology. There is a clear tendency in the world for the surgeries of the eyelid and upper face area to be performed by an ophthalmologist specializing in oculoplasty.
