About Me
I fell in love with neuroscience in college and quickly realized I could help people in a profound and direct way through a career in neurosurgery. The nervous system, which is responsible for our actions, perceptions, and thoughts, relies heavily on electrical activity to function. We can use these electrical signals to understand how the nervous system is working—and in certain neurologic conditions, we can even help it work better.
As a neurosurgical resident, I trained under the mentorship of many world-renowned neurosurgeons at NYU Langone, including those at the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, one of the largest epilepsy treatment programs in the country. During a subsequent neurosurgical fellowship at Emory University, I studied stereotactic and functional neurosurgery and epilepsy surgery.
I specialize in treating epilepsy, movement disorders, and pain, and I treat many other neurosurgical conditions affecting the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves. Depending on what is best for each person, I perform open or minimally invasive surgery.
I am fellowship-trained in surgical techniques that include robot-assisted stereo-electroencephalography (EEG), laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), and awake, asleep, and MRI-guided deep brain stimulation (DBS). I also perform dorsal root ganglion and spinal cord stimulation (DRG/SCS), responsive neurostimulation (RNS), and vagal nerve stimulation (VNS).
When medications do not fully treat a neurologic condition, surgery may help to minimize symptoms, restore quality of life, or even achieve a cure. Neuromodulation, for example, a technique for altering abnormal nervous system activity, has proven to be a critical tool for people with epilepsy who previously had no surgical options.
The decision to pursue surgery—and which kind of surgery—depends on what is important to each individual. I engage in shared decision-making with patients and their families—and seek input from our multidisciplinary team—to arrive at the best treatment plan.
My research interests closely align with the conditions affecting my patients. In addition to providing the best clinical care possible and teaching the next generation of neurosurgeons, I believe that neurosurgeon–scientists play a unique role in advancing the understanding of the conditions we treat.
