I have always had a passion for helping people. Neurology provides me with the opportunity to care for patients who have problems with performing daily activities or with their quality of life because of a neurologic condition.

I manage a full array of such conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, headache, and dementia. I also see patients who have neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis. In addition I treat polyneuropathies, which are disorders that affect the peripheral nerves, and myopathies, which are skeletomuscular disorders.

I try my best to improve patients’ quality of life by addressing their symptoms and limitations related to neurologic conditions. I emphasize the importance of diagnosis and various tests needed to make that possible. I perform an electrodiagnostic study known as electromyography (EMG), which helps diagnose polyneuropathies and myopathies. In addition, I interpret results from electroencephalography, or EEG, a procedure in which electrodes are applied to the head to record electrical activity in the brain. This test helps assess seizure discharges.
