I got hooked on ophthalmology the day I wandered into an eye surgical suite as a medical student in my native Puerto Rico. I realized that being an eye surgeon, and restoring the gift of sight, is a true privilege. After finishing residency in San Juan, I moved to Hartford, Connecticut, where I completed my fellowship in diseases and surgery of the anterior eye, including glaucoma and cataracts. Since starting this practice in 1993, I have performed thousands of cataract surgeries at Alexandria Hospital. I continuously bring the latest developments in my field as a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and through regular attendance at educational meetings. Following the example of my dad, who was a physician and an accomplished violinist, I took up music at an early age, and continue to build my repertoire and musical skills on the piano to this day. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, biking and traveling with my husband, who is an urban planner, and our young daughter.
