Welcome to the Blog
I’m a Physician, Private Practice Owner, Mama to 3 Kids, Educator, Textbook Author, Managing Partner, Conference Co-Founder, and Mentor.
I’ve got a little bit of ophthalmology, a little of motherhood and Hawaii life, a little bit of eye makeup & eye health. You name it, I’m probably talking about it. But, all through my lens (yes, pun intended) of being a doctor mom.

While it might be tempting to treat it like a skin blemish, it's crucial to understand what a stye truly is and how to address it properly.
