I believe good care starts with listening. I work to understand each person’s needs, goals, and concerns. My goal is to explain health conditions and care choices in a clear way, so patients and families can feel more informed and supported.

I chose medicine to help care for and speak up for others. In neurology and neuroimmunology, I often meet people during hard times. Many conditions, like multiple sclerosis, can affect daily life in ways others may not see. I try to be a calm and steady guide through each step of care.

I also value the role of family and support systems. When helpful, I welcome family members at visits so they can better understand the condition, symptoms, tests, and treatment plans. I want care to feel respectful, clear, and personal.

A successful outcome means helping people do the activities that matter most with less burden from a neurologic condition. The most rewarding part of my work is getting to know each person beyond a diagnosis and helping patients and families understand the path forward.
