"I believe the most important skill we need as physicians is to listen to our patients. Advances in medical technology, while exciting, can only be helpful if they are tailored to each patient's individual circumstances. I am fascinated by all aspects of neurology, but I have a special interest in epilepsy and seizures. My goal is to help patients with epilepsy lead a normal life to the greatest extent possible, without feeling limited by their illness."
