Overview
My passion for treating movement disorders grew after seeing dramatic improvements in my patients' quality of life due to both medical and surgical treatments. My specialty involves a combination of procedures (botulinum toxin injections, deep brain stimulator placement, and programming) and medication adjustments. As I deal with chronic disease, I enjoy getting to know my patients and families long-term. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors and traveling to new places whenever I get the chance.
