About Me
I am motivated by a good challenge and nothing drives me more than providing safe, effective and novel treatment for complex disorders of the brain and spinal cord. Each ounce of tissue we handle may house a person's personality, memory, sense of humor or their ability to move or talk. The central nervous system is sacred and deserves to be treated as such. I like to think that any new skill or knowledge I can acquire might one day allow a patient to continue to be the best version of themselves. I find it very gratifying to see patients pull through their surgery and return to the activities they love.
