About me

I am a board-eligible neurologist with advanced fellowship training in vascular neurology at the University at Buffalo. My clinical focus includes the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of stroke and other cerebrovascular disorders, with an emphasis on evidence-based and individualized care. My clinical interests include acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack, carotid and intracranial vascular disease, cerebral small-vessel disease, cardioembolic stroke, and secondary stroke prevention. I have particular interest in integrating vascular imaging, neuroimaging, cardiac evaluation, and individualized risk-factor assessment to determine stroke mechanism and guide treatment. In addition to vascular neurology, I evaluate a broad range of neurologic concerns, including headaches, dizziness, numbness, weakness, cognitive symptoms, seizures, and other disorders affecting the brain and nervous system. My approach emphasizes careful history-taking, neurologic localization, focused examination, appropriate diagnostic testing, and clear communication regarding diagnosis and next steps. I believe effective neurologic care should be collaborative, practical, and patient-centered. Neurologic symptoms can be complex, and accurate assessment often requires careful review of prior imaging, laboratory studies, medications, and medical history. I aim to provide patients with a clear understanding of the likely diagnosis, important alternative considerations, and a structured plan for further evaluation or treatment. Through online neurology consultations, I provide specialist input for patients seeking evaluation of neurologic symptoms, clarification of an existing diagnosis, review of prior stroke or neurologic testing, or a second opinion regarding management. My goal is to provide thoughtful, evidence-based neurological care while helping patients make informed decisions about their health.
