About Me
I was inspired to pursue a career in medicine by my intense curiosity, interest in science, and empathy for others’ suffering. I chose the specialty of neurology after witnessing a family member’s long struggle with Parkinson’s disease. My long career has been driven by my strong work ethic instilled by hardworking parents, teachers, and mentors, as well as feedback from patients and their families.
I am an internist and general neurologist by training with additional interest and training in neuromuscular diseases. I care for patients with headaches, dementia, spine-related diseases, neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, muscle disease, strokes, and seizure disorders. My expertise in neurophysiology allows me to offer electromyography and nerve conduction evaluations to my patients.
I strive to provide thoughtful advice to my patients regarding diagnosis, treatment options, and long-term clinical care. I believe in a holistic approach to care, combining knowledge of science, alternative medicine, and procedures. It’s important that patients participate in their healthcare to manage their conditions.
