My medical training has emphasized that the needs of the patient always come first. I strive to establish lasting relationships with my patients through comprehensive and compassionate care for those with neurologic and sleep disorders. I also recognize the importance of strong, collaborative partnerships with my referring providers.
My special interests include patient and medical student/resident education, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, insomnia, nocturnal seizures and other parasomnias.
