Care Philosophy

I am committed to provide the most advance and compassionate neurosurgical care possible. By providing the highest level of professionalism, honesty and integrity, my mission is to educate my patients on the available treatment options. I believe that the patient plays a crucial role in making choices and seek to earn their trust. Using my clinical and technical expertise, I hope to guide my patients and their families through a difficult time – forming a treatment plan centered on their values.

Clinical Interests for Referring Providers

I am fellowship trained in neurosurgical oncology and stereotactic radiosurgery and specialize in the management of brain and spine tumors. My clinical interest include primary and metastatic brain tumors and include primary gliomas, meningiomas, skull based tumors, spine tumors and pituitary tumors. Additional clinical interest include microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm, Chiari malformations, hydrocephalus, and general neurosurgical pathologies.

Research Interest for Referring Providers

Treatment of primary and metastatic brain tumors remains primitive and additional research is needed to further understand the driving forces behind tumor progression and recurrent. My neuro-oncology research is focused on investigating the mechanisms that drive glioma tumor progression and tumor recurrence. Research into the molecular and clinical characteristics that drive tumor progression and recurrence will further our understanding of how best to surgically and medically treat these aggressive tumors.
