Meet Dr. Giyaur Ophthalmologist | Eye Surgeon | Eye Doctor
“It's hard to say what drew me to ophthalmology initially. My mother being an ophthalmologist likely had something to do with it, since I was exposed to the field from early childhood. However, after over 15 years, I love being able to take care of my patients' eyesight, correct and restore their vision, prevent disease, and preserve excellent vision for years to come.”
– Julia Giyaur, MD
