Get to Know Me

I am a neurologist with specialized training in epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology. I work with a team of doctors, nurses, and support staff to provide personalized and compassionate care for people with seizures and other neurologic complications of cancer. In addition to seeing patients, I also review and interpret electroencephalography (EEG) studies and perform intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM), which is a technique used to prevent injury to the nerves during surgery.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a neurologist, which is a doctor with special training in the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.
