Overview

I am a board-certified neurologist with additional training and board certifications in neuromuscular medicine and clinical neurophysiology. I have a busy clinical practice seeing patients with all types of neurological diseases, with a focus in conditions affecting the peripheral nerves, the neuromuscular junction, and the muscles.
