I am a neurointensivist at Memorial Healthcare System. I am board certified in neurology and fellowship-trained in the care of neurologically injured patients who are critically ill. This includes patients suffering from ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, status epilepticus, traumatic brain injuries, comas and other neurological conditions.

I am passionate about helping patients heal and recover from their neurological injuries. It is an honor and a privilege to be part of their medical team as they go through a difficult and challenging time, and use my unique skills to make a difference in their lives.

I believe a team-based approach for the care of critically ill patients is an absolute necessity. At Memorial, our specialties collaborate to create treatment plans and provide care for all of our patients.

In addition to providing patient care, I am also a member of the Neurocritical Care Society, Society of Critical Care Medicine and the American Academy of Neurology.
