About Me
As a neurologist at NYU Langone Neurology Associates, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and empathetic care to my patients. My approach emphasizes the importance of clear communication and personalized treatment plans, ensuring that patients fully understand their diagnosis and the available treatment options. This commitment to individualized care is at the core of my practice.
I specialize in treating patients with a wide range of neurological conditions, including headaches, seizures, structural spinal problems, and peripheral nerve and muscle disorders. My expertise in electrophysiology allows me to use nerve conduction studies and electromyography to accurately diagnose and manage these conditions. This specialized knowledge enables me to offer advanced diagnostic and therapeutic options tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
My journey into neurology was inspired by my father’s work as a neurologist. Witnessing the profound impact of his work on patients’ lives sparked my interest in science and medicine. With years of experience in the field, I have honed my skills in both clinical practice and medical education. I have the privilege of teaching medical students, residents, and fellows at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. I am also actively involved in programs that advance our understanding of neurological conditions, such as the Concussion Center.
This dual role as a clinician and educator allows me to stay at the forefront of medical advances and provide patients with the highest standard of coordinated care.
