2014-Now
It wasn’t until 2014, however, that they realized they had a lot in common and fell in love. After a two year long-distance relationship, they decided to settle down in the Seattle area and have enjoyed every day together whether it’s rainy or sunny.
Serving the Redmond Community
They have owned Redmond Eye Clinic together since January of 2018 and are grateful to serve the people of the community of Redmond. They have a common belief in patient-centered care and feel that communication and compassion are vital attributes to any doctor-patient relationship.
In their spare time together, the doctors enjoy weight lifting, outdoor sports, going to the theater, exploring the Pacific Northwest, and spending time with family and friends.
