Summary
- I am a skull base neurosurgeon who treats tumor and vascular pathologies through minimally-invasive endoscopic and traditional, open microsurgical approaches. My work involves a large multi-disciplinary team that consists of neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, neuroophthalmologists, neuroendocrinologists, and specialized otolaryngology (ENT) cancer surgeons to ensure the best treatment outcomes for patients. I have had experience with radiosurgery in a variety of complex cranial pathologies. I completed separate fellowships in minimally-invasive skull base surgery as well as spine surgery. My research interests are in improving health care outcomes, novel surgical approaches, and better molecular characterization of tumors.
