About me

Movement disorders are like icebergs: there’s 10 percent that’s plainly visible, but there’s still 90 percent beneath the surface. My focus is on treating the entire 100 percent.

I learned from my grandmother, who had Parkinson’s disease, how important the right healthcare can be. I saw how an empathetic and skillful neurologist could be vital to cultivating a personalized approach to care that emphasizes quality of life. This is what inspired my journey into medicine.

I aim to provide cutting-edge advances and evidence-based practices that empower my patients to take control of their well-being.
