Overview

Philosophy of care | It’s important for me to get close to a patient. You need to be able to express your concerns to me freely. I treat every patient as I would a member of my family. That’s the hallmark of my patient-centered care. | Why I entered medicine | As a small child, I went along to a lot of doctor appointments and saw how kindly physicians treated my family members. I’ve always had an interest in science and, as I got older, those experiences seemed to come back to me. Now I enjoy helping people in the same way. | Community involvement | We have a local community center in my area and I’ve gone down there to help out with community elections, with people having insurance difficulties, and with different educational events for people in need. I just enjoy helping out where I can. It’s my way of giving back for all the good things I’ve experienced in my life. | Personal interests | Family time is really important to me, whether it’s traveling or just staying home to watch a movie. Even getting the chance to go for walks is something special.

Philosophy of care | In the field of epilepsy, just one seizure every 6 months is enough to prevent someone from driving, obtaining employment, or having a family life. Seizures can also lead to disability and death. | I strive to obtain seizure-freedom in all patients, while trying to minimize any side-effects. I promise to get to know you and understand what your main concern is. In return, I ask that you do your best to share all thoughts, concerns, and questions openly with me, and that you strive to make all you appointments, so that I can best serve you. | I will do my best to relieve these symptoms with no harm, with the goal to help you return to your normal lifestyle. | Why I entered medicine | As a child, I was always fascinated by doctors at my appointments. This ultimately led me to pursue the field of medicine. I initially planned on being a family medicine doctor and returning to my small hometown. However, no matter how best we think we have our future planned out, something always comes along that pulls us in another direction. | During my medical school rotations, I found my neurology rotation to be the most interesting, which led me to a neurology residency. While in my neurology training, I had the experience of seeing epilepsy patients being monitored in the hospital. This could take 1-2 weeks, which allowed me to get to know these people. | I was able to feel their frustration of how single events that lasted only 1-5 minutes were enough to control their entire lives. This led me to the field of epilepsy, of which I now focus my full efforts. | Community involvement | I am actively involved with the local Epilepsy Foundation. | Personal interests | I am a fan of many forms of music from Classical to Big Band, Folk, 40s - 90s, Broadway and movie soundtracks, Disney music, and others. I enjoy animation art, especially the original form of animation cels (celluloids) which were used up until the 1990's.

His top areas of expertise are Seizures, Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure, Post-Traumatic Epilepsy, and Memory Loss.
