Biography
I am a board-certified neurologist specializing in movement disorders at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, and the director of the Division of Parkinson’s Disease and Other Movement Disorders.
I diagnose and treat patients for conditions including Parkinson's disease/parkinsonism, tremor and dystonia. I offer treatments including advanced therapies and botulinum toxin injections.
I prioritize listening, thorough exams and clear communication, ensuring that each patient fully understands their diagnosis and treatment every step of the way. I tailor treatment plans to each patient's unique needs, integrating compassionate multidisciplinary care with access to innovative clinical research opportunities.
I graduated from Harvard University with a degree in cognitive neuroscience. After that, I attended Yale University and received my Master of Public Health degree. I went to medical school at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, so it's especially rewarding for me to work here because I can give back and teach medical students and resident physicians. Being at this academic institution also allows me to pursue collaborative research projects and provide patients with state-of-the-art care.
