Schedule Appointment

As a pediatric neurologist at NYU Langone, my philosophy of care centers on providing compassionate, patient-centered treatment. I am deeply committed to involving parents and patients in the decision-making process, ensuring that each child receives the most appropriate and effective care. My role allows me to make a significant impact on the lives of children and adolescents, which is incredibly fulfilling.

I specialize in managing a wide range of neurological conditions in children, including seizures and epilepsy, developmental disorders, cerebral palsy, headaches and migraines, and autism spectrum disorders. With over 20 years of experience, I have developed a particular interest in treating children with cerebral palsy, using innovative treatments such as Botox injections to manage spasticity. My extensive training in pediatrics and pediatric neurology, including a fellowship in child neurology, has equipped me with the expertise to handle these complex conditions.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of research and independent reviews. I am honored to have been recognized by my peers and named in Castle Connolly’s “Top Doctors” series for the New York metro area and a “Top Doctor” on Long Island by Newsday since 2012. My affiliation with NYU Langone allows me to provide coordinated, seamless care, ensuring that my patients benefit from a comprehensive approach.

My journey into medicine began in South Africa, where I attended medical school and completed my residency in pediatrics. It was during my clinical rotations that I developed a fascination with neurological disorders, leading me to pursue further training in pediatric neurology. The opportunity to complete a fellowship in the United States was a pivotal moment in my career, and I have remained here ever since, dedicated to improving the lives of children with neurological conditions.
