My goal is provide optimal neurosurgical care tailored to each patient. As a functional and stereotactic neurosurgeon, I focus on using electrical neurostimulators to affect brain circuits and restore function and improve quality of life. I also lead the multidisciplinary adult surgical epilepsy program, which combines experts in neurosurgery, neurology, neuropsychology, and neuroradiology.
Neurosurgery, and in particular functional neurosurgery and epilepsy surgery, is experiencing a transition to less invasive techniques as well as continual innovation. I strive to incorporate these advances in my care to provide the best care for my patients.

I believe the strength of our programs relies on a close team relationship who works closely with patients to achieve their goals. This applies to patients with Parkinson's Disease and tremor who wish to improve movement abilities, to epilepsy patients who wish to improve their seizures, and to trigeminal neuralgia patients who seek long-lasting relief of facial pain.
