Biosketch:

My specialty is in the diagnosis and treatment of seizures and epilepsy. I enjoy educating and helping patients and their families choose the right strategies and treatments for seizure control. I believe that involving patients and families in the decision-making process is crucial for a successful outcome. My area of interest is in epilepsy surgery, neuromodulation and autoimmune epilepsies.
