About Me

I am a pediatric neurosurgeon at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, specializing in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of complex neurological conditions in children and adolescents. My areas of expertise include (spina bifida, hydrocephalus, craniosynostosis, Chiari malformation, brain tumors, and epilepsy.)

Working closely with families is an essential part of my approach to patient care, and I treat each individual’s well-being with the same level of dedication and compassion as I would for a loved one. I believe that fostering strong partnerships with families is crucial in ensuring the best possible outcomes. By providing clear, detailed information, I aim to help them fully understand the diagnosis, treatment options, and potential paths forward.

Empowering families with this knowledge not only supports their decision-making process but also instills a sense of confidence and trust in the care being provided. Above all, my commitment is to delivering the highest standard of care, not just to my patients, but to their families as well, guiding them through every step of the healthcare journey with empathy and expertise.

It is a joy and an honor to provide the world-class care that Joe DiMaggio and Memorial have become known for.
