Summary

  • I received my medical degree from The University of Jordan in 2002. I went on to complete Neurology Residency at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. I completed his fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology (Epilepsy) at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

    I am board-certified in Neurology and Clinical Neurophysiology by The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and have been on staff at Ochsner since 2018 and practicing Neurology since 2010. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.

    I provide thorough and high-quality care to patients and enjoy treating all neurological disorders. I perform EEG, EMG and Botox. I have a special clinical interest in Epilepsy. I enjoy family activities, traveling, reading and hiking in my free time.
