Overview
With over 15 years of experience in the field of electroencephalography, epilepsy diagnosis, and the management of people with drug-resistant epilepsy, I serve as the Director of the Duke Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. My responsibilities also encompass overseeing the Analytical Neurophysiology Lab, which focuses on advancing the field of neurophysiology to more accurately localize epileptic foci in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, employing state-of-the art signal analysis techniques integrated with artificial intelligence.

Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic - Clinic 1L
I am a Neurologist with a special interest in Epilepsy. I diagnose and treat patients with epilepsy in clinic and acute neurological problems in the hospital. I take a personalized medicine approach which becomes important in difficult to control seizures. A teenager with newly diagnosed epilepsy starting college or a woman with epilepsy requiring guidance through pregnancy will have unique needs. At Duke Health, I am able to offer cutting edge diagnostic and therapeutic options to my patients ranging from medications to stereoEEG and device therapies such as deep brain stimulation, responsive neurostimulation, and vagus nerve stimulation. Unraveling the complexities of the brain is extremely fulfilling but we are yet to fully understand it’s intricacies. For me, this makes practicing as a neurologist a rewarding but also humbling experience. Knowing that the teenager I first diagnosed with epilepsy is now graduating college or seeing a healthy baby with my patient after follow up during pregnancy, is a gratifying sight. I want my patients to know that I care and to feel confident that they are being heard. At Duke Health, I work with a multidisciplinary team with the common goal of providing the best care for our patients.
