Summary

  • After completing my neurosurgical residency training and a fellowship in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery at UCLA, I joined the faculty at Kaiser Permanente Neurosurgery & Neuroscience department at Redwood City, California.

    I have a broad range of interests in Neurosurgery, however, my areas of expertise and neurosurgical focus are mainly in DBS surgery for movement and neuropsychiatric disorders as well as neuromodulation procedures for chronic refractory pain syndromes. My practice also includes surgical procedures for refractory epilepsy in adults as well as Peripheral nerve & brachial plexus procedures for tumors and injuries.
