Overview

I am a Neurologist with a special interest in Epilepsy. I diagnose and treat patients with epilepsy in clinic and acute neurological problems in the hospital. I take a personalized medicine approach which becomes important in difficult to control seizures. A teenager with newly diagnosed epilepsy starting college or a woman with epilepsy requiring guidance through pregnancy will have unique needs. At Duke Health, I am able to offer cutting edge diagnostic and therapeutic options to my patients ranging from medications to stereoEEG and device therapies such as deep brain stimulation, responsive neurostimulation, and vagus nerve stimulation. Unraveling the complexities of the brain is extremely fulfilling but we are yet to fully understand it’s intricacies. For me, this makes practicing as a neurologist a rewarding but also humbling experience. Knowing that the teenager I first diagnosed with epilepsy is now graduating college or seeing a healthy baby with my patient after follow up during pregnancy, is a gratifying sight. I want my patients to know that I care and to feel confident that they are being heard. At Duke Health, I work with a multidisciplinary team with the common goal of providing the best care for our patients.

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.
