Overview
As a general neurologist, I see and treat patients with a variety of neurological problems. During my residency at Duke I became particularly interested in seizure disorders, and completed a clinical neurophysiology fellowship focused on the diagnosis and management of epilepsy. I work with my patients to create a treatment plan that addresses and emphasizes their values. My goal is to make each patient feel heard and provide them with the best possible care.

Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic - Clinic 1L
"Neurologic conditions can be scary, and neuroimmunologic conditions even more so. It's easy to feel in the dark about what is happening. I approach patient care with just as much attention to empowering education as I do to disease management. I strive to ""turn the lights on"" so people know more about their conditions, what to expect, and (most importantly) what we can do about them. If we ever meet, don't be surprised if I quote John Steinbeck or offer advice on your next mobile device.".
