Summary

  • I am a Board Certified Neurologist whose focus is on patient care. I learned how to be a Doctor from my father who taught me to listen and spend time with patients and families. Every patient gets my cell phone number and clear access. I like very complex cases. I am here to be a Doctor. My specific concentration is as a NeuroHospitalist.
