My relationship with Houston Eye Associates (HEA) began in 2001 with my fellowship in Cornea and External and Infectious Disease with Dr. Joseph Hospital and my ophthalmology residency at The University of Texas Hermann Hospital. At the conclusion of medical school in 1997, we returned to Houston where I completed my internship at St.

After graduating from Rice in 1993, I attended The University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas where I was lucky enough to meet my wonderful wife Kathie. I then attended Rice University and was elected President of Baker College. My road through advanced education began with a move back to Texas in 1984 where I attended Cypress Creek High School in northwest Houston. The idea of entering medicine was an early and easy decision. Ever since I have been passionate about the sense of sight and its preservation. My assigned organ was the eye and I still have that report. Colorado taught me to weather the cold and I soon learned to love the snow and became an enthusiastic skier.Įach student of my sixth-grade science class was assigned an organ of the body and instructed to write an informational paper on that organ. I was born in Beaumont, Texas but was quickly transplanted to Littleton, Colorado when I was just two months old. Both my team and I strive to be respectful, empathetic, knowledgeable, easy to understand, courteous, unbiased, cooperative, thorough, and effective. You can be confident that although I have earned a great reputation, I am working for you, not me. I value transparent pricing and insurance verification to keep your costs low, clear, and covered. My office has a full array of cutting-edge diagnostic technology onsite with all the types of eye specialists available for referrals. I offer same day and next day appointments and am located in central Houston near the Rice Village with ground level parking. I start clinic at 7:30am to allow for you to be seen prior to work and traffic. I want your visit to be convenient for you. Vital and the eye conditions that he treats visit: First things first.
