I got my BS from Michigan State University in 1977, my DVM from Cornell University in 1983, completed an internship at the Animal Medical Center in NYC, a residency at Iowa State University and a research fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin. I became board certified in 1989. I was staff ophthalmologist at The Animal Medical Center until 1993 had a private ophthalmology practice in Beaverton, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, for over 20 years. I now have a practice on the Oregon Coast, in Manzanita.
