Biography

I’m a board-certified neurologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, specializing in neurocritical care. I care for patients with serious neurological conditions, including stroke and cerebral small vessel diseases, often in intensive care settings where rapid, expert decision-making is essential.

My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that supports patients and their families during some of the most critical moments of their lives. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure each patient receives personalized treatment tailored to their unique medical needs and recovery goals.

I completed my medical degree at Pennsylvania State College of Medicine, followed by residency and fellowship training at the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic. I am board certified in both neurology and vascular neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a clinical professor of neurology and am actively involved in research focused on improving outcomes in stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage. I’m committed to advancing care through both innovation and education.
