Summary
- I am a board-certified neurologist specializing in Movement Disorders. I treat patients with Parkinson's disease, atypical Parkinsonism, Huntington's disease, essential tremor, dystonia and ataxia. I perform EMG- and stimulation-guided botulinum toxin injections for cervical and limb dystonia and spasticity, as well as salivary gland injections. I also evaluate patients with PD, ET and dystonia for deep brain stimulation and program Medtronic and Boston Scientific DBS devices. I am site principal investigator for trials in Parkinson's, Huntington's, cervical dystonia, and spasticity secondary to stroke or traumatic brain injury.
