About Me
As a neurosurgeon, I specialize in open and endovascular neurosurgery and am one of only a handful of dually trained vascular neurosurgeons in the nation. I strive to deliver the best possible care to my patients and provide treatments for cerebrovascular diseases including acute stroke, brain aneurysms, brain arteriovenous malformations, cranial and spinal dural fistulas, spinal vascular malformations, intracranial artery stenosis and extracranial artery stenosis.
My patient care philosophy is to always treat patients with the utmost compassion and respect. I treat every patient as if they are a member of my family, and strive to understand the unique needs and desires of each and every patient to preserve or maintain quality of life.
I enjoy working in Ohio State’s academic setting, where I can participate in resident education, research and clinical care. It's a privilege to collaborate with providers who value excellence in health care. Everything a patient needs for his or her treatment and recovery, from the intensive care unit to a nationally recognized on-site rehabilitation institute, is right here at Ohio State. Because of our resources, we’re able to provide our patients with the most comprehensive quality care.
In my free time, I enjoy relaxing with my family, watching movies, traveling, reading and spending time outdoors.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
