Overview
I am board certified in Neurology and fellowship board certified in Clinical Neurophysiology. Seeing patients with general neurological issues (e.g. concussion, seizure, syncope, neuropathy, headache, dementia, Parkinson's disease, tremors, multiple sclerosis) interests me the most. I am focused on outpatient neurology, and I believe in patient and family-centered care. I believe lifestyle modification and non-pharmacological treatments are a very essential part of the treatment regimen. At our Burlington location, we offer NCS/EMG, EEG, ambulatory video EEG, Vagal Nerve Stimulatory management, occipital nerve block, carpal tunnel injections, sphenopalatine block for headaches, and injections for various conditions. We take pride in our practices' principals of compassionate neurological care, ease of access for our patients, communication with referring physicians, etc.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.

I see patients with memory disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. In almost every encounter, I feel like I see two patients: the person with the disease and the person taking care of the person with the disease. The caregiver often needs as much attention as the patient because they are under a lot of stress, so I offer helpful tips, advice, encouragement, and resources. These diseases don’t have cures, so I spend a lot of time talking with caregivers, diagnosing the disease, and helping families cope. There are some medicines we use for these diseases, but their effect is fairly limited, so we also try to treat side effects, such as depression or behavioral problems. It’s a partnership between the doctor, the patient, and the family trying to keep the patient as safe, happy, and healthy as possible. I am also involved in research projects and enjoy both seeing patients and studying their diseases in the lab.
