About Me
I care for patients with varied neurosurgical disorders; I specialize in the surgical treatment of brain, skull base, and pituitary and spinal cord tumors. Patients with any of these conditions face a daunting diagnosis. I aim to provide the best possible neurosurgical and medical care, guided by evidence-based medicine and delivered with technical expertise and compassion. For many patients with tumors, neurosurgery is just the first step. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team of specialist physicians to provide integrated, cutting-edge care.
