Overview

I am a vascular neurologist, and my passion is to help patients suffering from strokes, maximize their recovery, improve quality of life, and prevent recurrent strokes. Stroke is a sudden and often unexpected event that is life changing for many. In my clinical practice, I care for stroke patients along the continuum from the hospital to the clinic setting. My approach to clinical care is to get to know the person I am treating, establish their priorities for their medical care, and work with them to identify strategies to address their concerns and achieve desired outcomes.

I am currently the chief of the division of Epilepsy, Sleep, and Clinical Neurophysiology. I see epilepsy patients and patients with sleep disorders. The epilepsy patients that I see often have a hard time controlling their seizures or have other epilepsy-related problems. At Duke, we have many options, including clinical trials, advanced medications, and surgical options, that we can offer patients to get them to a better quality of life with fewer or no seizures. In sleep disorders, I see many patients with sleep apnea and have a passion for treating individuals with narcolepsy. My philosophy is that I want patients to be aware of all the different treatment options that they have available this them. Together, we come up with what I, the patient, and the family think is the best approach for the individual. This way, we can individualize the treatment for each person. It is very gratifying for me to see patients doing so much better with the appropriate medications and pursuing the dreams they have and doing the things they really want to do.
