About Me
I am a neurologist at Memorial Health System, where I provide holistic, individualized care for a range of neurological conditions, such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy.

I knew I wanted to be a physician ever since my grandfather had a brain tumor successfully removed. After the procedure, I saw a great improvement in his quality of life, which inspired me to pursue this field. I knew I wanted to help make a positive, meaningful difference in patients' lives.

Neurology appeals to me because it's like solving a puzzle. To reach the right diagnosis and treatment plan, you must fit different pieces of information together. That's why I approach care with honesty and compassion, thoroughly listening to each of my patients' concerns.
