Message to my patients
For more than two decades in the exercise of ophthalmology I constantly search for knowledge and for new techniques in order to bring my patients the best solutions for their ophthalmic afflictions. I am always thrilled with the results obtained in the treatment and in the improvement of their quality of life. That’s my goal and that’s what motivates me to practice ophthalmology.
