About Me
My fascination with science and nature began when I was in middle school and grew in high school, when I became a biology tutor. In college and medical school, I was always in awe when learning about the brain and its incredible influence on all other organs, including its connection to our consciousness and what it means to be human. Becoming a neurologist was an easy choice.
As a general neurologist and neuromuscular specialist, I treat patients who have conditions of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. I manage headaches, seizures, and structural spinal problems. I also see patients who have peripheral nerve and muscle disorders. I manage plexopathy, which affects nerves near the spine, and peripheral neuropathy, a disorder affecting the nerves that travel between the central nervous system and the rest of the body. I care for patients who have myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disorder affecting the connection between the nerves and skeletal muscles. In addition, I manage myopathy, a disorder that impacts the structure or function of the skeletal muscles.
To help diagnose these conditions, I perform nerve conduction studies, which assess how quickly electrical impulses travel through a nerve, and electromyography, which tests how the nerves and muscles work together by measuring electrical impulses along nerves and muscle tissue.
I approach clinical care with the same enthusiasm I did when I first entered medicine. My goal is to carefully listen to patients. After a diagnosis, I talk with them about their neurological condition in a way that is easy to understand. Patient education provides a powerful head start toward health and wellness. I also offer patients advanced, personalized treatment options to achieve the best possible outcomes.
As director of the Division of Global Health in the Department of Neurology, I practice and teach neurology in parts of the world where access to advanced medical care is limited and help bring attention to neurological diseases. With my NYU Langone colleagues, we help to bridge gaps in neurological diagnosis and care around the world, and we learn from fellow doctors in host countries to become better clinicians and teachers back at home.
I also have the great fortune of being a clinical educator of medical students, residents, fellows, and colleagues at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. As an alumnus of the medical school, I take immense pride in teaching in the same lecture halls and classrooms in which I learned.
