Overview
Pediatric Neurosurgery became my chosen path due to a combination of firsthand experiences and a profound desire to make a difference in the lives of children. I love the variety of cases and am fascinated with embryology and congenital malformations. I specialize in brain tumors, spinal cord tumors, tethered cord, myelomeningocele, Chiari malformation, hydrocephalus, congenital malformations, and minimally invasive techniques using neuro-endoscopy. I am dual trained, completing an enfolded skull base fellowship and a pediatric neurosurgery fellowship. I firmly believe that being a compassionate and empathetic doctor is as crucial as possessing excellent surgical skills. My personal experience of losing my own child has deepened my understanding of the emotional and psychological challenges that parents face when their child is dealing with a serious medical condition. This unique perspective has inspired me to be more than just a surgeon; it has motivated me to be a source of support, understanding, and solace for parents during their difficult journeys. In addition to being a neurosurgeon, I am a wife and a mother who loves reading, jigsaw puzzles, traveling, and spending time with my wonderful husband and children.
