Brain & Spinal Tumor, Stereotactic & Functional Neurosurgery

Neurosurgeon, Mayfield Brain & Spine || Co-Director, Gamma Knife Center, Jewish Hospital

Summary

I am a board-certified neurosurgeon who specializes in the care of brain tumor patients. I perform stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma Knife and Novalis). I trained at New York University (neurosurgery residency) and UCSF (neuro-oncology fellowship). I am currently Co-Director of the Gamma Knife Center at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati. I have devoted my entire career to the compassionate care of brain tumor patients while searching for a cure through clinical trials, translational research, and education of future leaders.
