I have dedicated my professional life to treating patients with neuromuscular disorders. These include neuropathy (GBS, CIDP), myopathy, Myasthenia Gravis, and ALS. I incorporate the use of electromyography (EMG), whenever appropriate, to help diagnosis my patients and start proper therapy. My greatest satisfaction as a doctor is helping patients improve and forming lasting relationships. I want my patients to feel like they are not alone navigating their disease and know I will be there for them every step of the way. Duke Health is truly a world-class institution.
