Overview

I am a board-certified neurologist and fellowship-trained neuro-oncologist specializing in the treatment of adults with central and peripheral nervous system tumors. I also manage neurologic complications of systemic tumors and cancer therapies. The cornerstone of my practice is a patient-centered philosophy and team-based approach that incorporates a high degree of compassion, kindness, respect and humanness. I treat my patients as if they are my friend or family, and I believe this partnership is fundamental for holistic care. I address complex issues honestly yet with optimism. My goal is to provide cutting-edge treatment for brain tumor patients and, where possible, offer promising clinical trials outside of conventional therapy. The cancer journey can be a challenging, scary and emotional experience for some patients and families. Many patients with brain tumors have a poor understanding of their prognosis and life expectancy. I enjoy spending time and connecting with patients and families to guide them through the cancer care trajectory.
