Summary

  • I am passionate about traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the multifaceted personal challenges these patients and their families face. I hope to develop a service which fills current gaps in TBI care in a personalized yet methodical manner. I am also interested in how we may best apply novel multimodal technology in the neuro-intensive care unit in a practical, efficient manner. I am open to collaborations and opportunities to improve acute neurologic care and long term brain health of neurology patients.

    I am a Harvard trained neurologist who maintains a diverse array of clinical skills including critical care medicine and procedures, neurologic ward medicine, acute stroke/vascular neurology, post-discharge clinics and tele-neurology/stroke.
