About me
Diagnosing a neurological condition can sometimes be like solving a difficult puzzle. I have a talent for knowing odd and unusual pieces of information. I enjoy applying that talent to solving diagnostic puzzles and coming up with unorthodox therapies for rare conditions.
My patients consistently tell me that I’m good at listening to what they have to say. I use what they tell me, my experience and my inquisitive nature to help diagnose and treat their conditions.
It’s very rewarding when I can help cure or control my patients’ illnesses. When my patients are satisfied with their care and feel that they can do things that they couldn’t do before, I feel that I’ve done my best work.
