About me

As a physiatrist, I specialize in rehabilitation medicine. I see patients with neurological disorders, spinal cord injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions. I also work with patients who have had a limb amputated.

I focus on treating the whole person. I enjoy spending time talking with patients and their families. This allows me to get to know them better and find any previously missed problems.

When I work with my patients, I explore less invasive treatments first. When necessary, I can provide injections to relieve pain, such as trigger point injections, joint injections, and occipital nerve blocks. I am also skilled in electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction (NCV) testing, which can help locate the location of a patient’s neurological problem.

I am very lucky to have a wonderful support team at Mt. Ascutney. I work closely with physical, occupational, and recreational therapists to provide the best care for our patients.
