Overview
Because of my family experiences I was drawn into the field of medicine early in my life. One of my close family members suffered from epilepsy since she was very young. I witnessed the adverse effect of epilepsy on socio-economic, education and quality of life of not just the patient, but the entire family. I learned that a doctor’s job is not only to prescribe medication but also provide education, counseling, and support when dealing with diseases like epilepsy. My two young children keep my wife and I active and on our toes. We take them hiking, camping, swimming, and any other outdoor activities possibly available that keeps them busy and promises a full night’s sleep. I enjoy woodworking and wood carving in my free time and enjoy seeing raw wood transformed into a useful daily accessory or an artistic gift.

Duke Neurology Morreene Road
As a native of North Carolina, I am passionate about providing high-quality care in the state. I believe that the patient is the center of all we do here at Duke Health. In particular, I provide neurological care for people who have movement disorders. These include conditions like tremor, Parkinson's disease, various forms of Parkinsonism, Huntington's disease, dystonia, and many others. Treatments can include a wide variety of medications, injections of botulinum toxin, and deep brain stimulation. My goal is to focus on the care of the whole person and their care partners. I strive to help alleviate all types of symptoms that can occur with movement disorders and to optimize your quality of life. I love getting to know my patients over many years together and traveling their health journey alongside them and their families. When I am away from the office, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring beautiful state of North Carolina, and supporting Duke athletics.
