Summary

Director of Epilepsy at Bellevue Hospital Center, where we offer inpatient (routine and continuous video) and outpatient (routine and ambulatory) adult and pediatric epilepsy monitoring services with an interdisciplinary team of adult and child epileptologists capable of connecting and monitoring (both in-house and remotely) EEGs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in addition to our multiple weekly outpatient clinics.
Director of the Child Neurology Residency at NYU Langone Health, an ACGME Certified top level academic training program at one of the top medical schools in the country (and first in the nation to offer tuition-free medical education).
I am currently board certified in neurology with special qualification in child neurology, clinical neurophysiology, and epilepsy.
I am happy to talk on topics (among many) ranging from basic science to clinical care, medical education to health care disparities.
