As a neu­rol­o­gist, my phi­los­o­phy of care is cen­tered on pro­vid­ing per­son­al­ized, com­pas­sion­ate, and com­pre­hen­sive treat­ment for each of my patients. Togeth­er, we will explore the full range of ther­a­peu­tic options — from med­ica­tions and phys­i­cal ther­a­py to the lat­est min­i­mal­ly inva­sive pro­ce­dures — to find the path that is right for you. Above all, I am com­mit­ted to pro­vid­ing the high­est stan­dard of neu­ro­log­i­cal care in a sup­port­ive, judg­ment-free envi­ron­ment. My door is always open, and I encour­age you to be open and hon­est with me about your symp­toms, goals, and any obsta­cles you may be fac­ing. With empa­thy, exper­tise, and a gen­uine ded­i­ca­tion to your well­be­ing, I will work tire­less­ly to help you achieve the best pos­si­ble neu­ro­log­i­cal health and qual­i­ty of life.

Personal Interests
When I’m not see­ing patients you’re like­ly to find me on a bike or in my back­yard gar­den­ing. Cycling allows me to chal­lenge myself phys­i­cal­ly while also pro­vid­ing valu­able reflec­tion time. Gar­den­ing grounds me and sparks my cre­ativ­i­ty in ways that com­ple­ment the ana­lyt­i­cal demands of my med­ical work. How­ev­er, it is the time I spend with my beloved fam­i­ly that tru­ly recharges my bat­ter­ies and reminds me of the deep­er pur­pose behind all that I do.
