My interest in science and technology started when I joined a ham radio club in junior high school. Years later, I was introduced to neurology during a summer internship working with a multiple sclerosis researcher; I realized that no area of the body is more interesting than the nervous system and the brain. That led to my decision to become a neurologist.

I manage headache, herniated discs in the lower back and neck, and difficulty walking due to Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. I also see patients who have nerve dysfunction, which is known as neuropathy. Some of my patients have memory loss, which can range from mild cognitive impairment to dementia.

To determine whether a patient has a neurological condition, I ask about their medical history and perform a detailed neurological exam, which may involve testing their reflexes, coordination, and balance. I may recommend imaging studies or electrodiagnostic testing, such as electromyography, to identify the cause of the problem. Then, I may prescribe medication and physical therapy.

When necessary, I refer patients to my colleagues for certain conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease or epilepsy.

I strive to spend time with patients, so I can learn about their condition and answer as many questions as possible. I also explain the results of tests in terms that are easy to understand. When appropriate, I allow patients to choose whether they want treatment for a condition. Unless their condition affects their quality of life, treatment may not always be necessary.

I enjoy interacting with people and making diagnoses. Some of my patients have been seeing me for 30 years, and I enjoy catching up with them.

I have been recognized in Castle Connolly’s America’s Top Doctors® and the “Top Doctors” series for the New York metro area. I have also been included in New York Magazine’s “Best Doctors in New York” and the New York Super Doctors directory.
