I embarked on a journey in medicine years ago, driven by a profound fascination with the brain and its intricate functions. My passion for understanding this remarkable organ led me to specialize in neurology, and further hone my expertise in headache medicine. This field not only captivates me intellectually but also aligns with my commitment to holistic patient care and building enduring patient-doctor relationships, which I consider the cornerstone of effective medical practice.

As a dedicated headache specialist, I provide comprehensive treatment for a wide array of headache disorders. I address common conditions such as migraines—with or without aura, menstrual migraines, chronic migraines, and vestibular migraines—as well as less common, complex disorders like cluster headaches, trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias, atypical facial pain, trigeminal neuralgia, and other cranial neuralgias. My expertise also extends to managing secondary headaches, tension headaches, neck pain, and cervicogenic headaches.

In my practice, I utilize advanced therapeutic techniques including Botox injections for migraine relief, as well as occipital nerve blocks, trigeminal branch nerve blocks, sphenopalatine ganglion blocks, and trigger point injections. My goal is to offer compassionate, cutting-edge care tailored to each patient’s unique needs, fostering an environment of trust and healing.
