Summary

  • I am a patient- and family-centered academic child neurologist specializing in the treatment of pediatric and adolescent epilepsy (seizures) and neuromuscular disorders, and an assistant professor of pediatrics and neurology at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. Prior to becoming a pediatric epileptologist and neuromuscular neurologist, I was a practicing general pediatrician for 10 years, a gratifying and introspective period that deepened my empathy and compassion in caring for children with neurological needs. In addition to being part of the pediatric epilepsy center (CNP-EEG), the pediatric MDA/neuromuscular clinic, and the multidisciplinary brachial plexus/peripheral nerve injury clinic, I currently serve as the medical director of the pediatric electrodiagnostic laboratory (EDX-EMG) at Connecticut Children’s. I hold specialty/subspecialty board certifications in Pediatrics, Child Neurology, Epilepsy, Epilepsy Monitoring, Neuromuscular Medicine, and Electrodiagnostic Medicine.
