Summary

I am a Sports Neurology and Pain Medicine specialist interested in evaluation and management of neurologic injuries in sports and neuromodulation applied to pain medicine. I also have a strong interest in neurologic contributions to athletic performance (athletic, academic, and professional) and ways to evaluate/measure and "train the brain".
