I was drawn to medicine because of the meaningful relationships I develop with patients and families, especially during their greatest time of need. Many neurological illnesses can be very complex and overwhelming, requiring a very involved clinician who is committed to caring for the patient as a whole. In my practice, I focus on not only the diagnosis and treatment but also the quality of my patients' life. I hope to ease their concerns and provide them with the knowledge they need to make their own health care decisions. I want each of my patients to know I truly care for them and that I am here to listen.
