About me

Growing up in a medical family, I was drawn to medicine at an early age. I was always impressed by a physician's ability to help people through his or her medical expertise. Neuroradiology attracted me because I am fascinated with the imaging of the central nervous system. Being a radiologist gives me an intellectual challenge and helps me touch many patients' lives every day.

As a radiologist, I help clinicians across a wide range of clinical specialties. We diagnose and treat patients using state-of-the art medical imaging. I've always enjoyed solving problems. Using my skills to help a patient reach the right diagnosis and treatment plan is incredibly rewarding.
