About Me

As a general neurologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I treat patients with a variety of neurological diseases including migraines, tremor, memory disorders and movement disorders.

Neurological diseases are complicated and can often change suddenly. Close monitoring of patients is a very important part of the care I provide.

Ohio State has many specialties with expert specialists who provide excellent care to our patients. We have a very supportive environment in the Department of Neurology.

I enjoy spending what free time I have gardening.
