Clinical Interests for Referring Providers
My primary clinical interest is the comprehensive care of people with epilepsy. This includes advanced pre-surgical epilepsy studies including electrocorticography, Wada testing (intracarotid sodium amobarbital procedure), and cortical mapping. This also encompasses the use of neuromodulation modalities including vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), responsive neurostimulation (RNS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS).
