About Me

I'm a neurologist with expertise in Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, deep brain simulation and botulinum toxin injections.

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is helping people manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life every day.

As a physician specializing in treating progressive neurological conditions, building lasting relationships with my patients and their families is truly an honor. I’m committed to supporting patients through every step of their journey.

My role is to help patients understand their diagnosis and explore treatment options to make the best possible decisions. I create a personalized plan that aligns with the medical evidence and what matters most to the patient.

I also find great joy as a clinical researcher, where I work on developing new treatments that can enhance care and help slow or even prevent disease progression for future patients.

I’m committed to supporting patients through every step of their journey.
