LVH Neurology-1250 Cedar Crest
Philosophy of care | Medical recommendations are most effective when a patient understands the why. As such, I make communication with you and all my patients a core of my practice of medicine. | Why I entered medicine | My mother had poliomyelitis as a young child, and it forever changed her life. I learned through her about perseverance through a life with disability. Due to this, I found myself interested in disease processes from a young age, but over time was drawn more to clinical care rather than the research sphere. | Personal interests | I enjoy music (guitar and piano), online education platforms/web design and programming in my spare time.
