Summary

I am a board certified neurologist who completed residency at UCSF where I focused on inpatient neurology, medical education, clinical trials, and the art of human interaction in medicine. I recently completed neurocritical care fellowship at UCLA to learn the fundamentals of critical care medicine, and how they are applied to patients suffering from neurological emergencies.
