ABOUT ME
My wife and I moved to Philadelphia in the summer of 2006, so that I could start my ophthalmology residency at the University of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia is a city that grows on you. We didn't like it very much at first, especially compared to San Francisco and Boston where we had lived before. However, we have found some affordable restaurants, made some new friends, and adjusted to life out in this gritty, hard working city.
