Experienced in Conversion Disorder

Overview

I am a neurologist and specialize in epilepsy. I see patients who have seizures and help them decide on a comprehensive plan for their diagnosis and treatment. I treat patients with seizures that are difficult to control. I also treat patients that have failed several medications and are looking for other options, such as surgery, clinical trials, and neuromodulation devices, such as responsive neurostimulation (RNS), vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS). I also have an interest in treating female patients with epilepsy and the role hormones can play in their seizures (eg. pregnancy). I focus not only on helping my patients control their seizures, but also addressing the other issues that are associated with being an epilepsy patient, such as depression, quality of life, medication side effects, other neurological issues, and social issues. At Duke Health, we have conferences where our entire team of epileptologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, technicians, and neuropsychologists meet to discuss individual patients in order to offer the appropriate management. We believe in the timely identification of patients with seizures that are difficult to control and interventions to improve their quality of life.
