Neurology is a fascinating field. Even though Neuro-ophthalmology is my specialty, I also love to see patients with different neurological conditions. My goal is to provide patient-centered individualized care, to help patients understand their condition and make informed decisions.

I saw Dr. Zhao for an initial visit and she was very thorough, professional and kind. I felt that she has many ideas in her head that she wants to explore and that it will take some testing and follow-up to arrive at any conclusions. She did explain that the very mild changes on my brain MRI that had worried me were completely normal given my age. I am also have trouble with my eyes and on the next visit she will examine my eyes since we didn’t have time on the initial visit.
