About Me

I view caring for patients as a privilege and relish every moment spent helping them. I believe the key to achieving the best possible outcomes is to ensure my patients feel heard, support them in understanding their condition and treatment and encourage their participation in their own care. Dedicated to providing personalized and patient-centered care, I approach each patient as a person rather than a diagnosis.

My clinical interests are focused on ischemic strokes, transient ischemic attacks (TIA), hemorrhagic strokes and other neurovascular disorders. 

My research interests include management of acute ischemic stroke, stroke prevention, impact of telestroke on patient outcomes and health care disparities.

I approach each patient as a person rather than a diagnosis.
