About me

What Is Important to Me
The day I received my first pair of glasses, I realized what I wanted to do professionally: I wanted to become an ophthalmologist. And that is exactly what happened.

Although ophthalmology is a relatively specialized field, I am fascinated by working with patients of all ages and generations. Listening to young and old, taking their needs seriously, welcoming them, meeting them where they are at that particular moment in their lives, and helping them improve their vision gives me great satisfaction every day.

When my patients are satisfied, I feel personally fulfilled and motivated.
Openness, approachability, and empathy are qualities that characterize me both as a person and as an ophthalmologist. In order to advise and treat my patients as well as possible, I continue my professional education with experienced and highly regarded physicians and specialists, both in Italy and abroad, always learning something new.

Looking beyond the boundaries of my own specialty and continually broadening my horizons, both in my private life and as a physician, has been, is, and will remain very important to me.
