Clinical Interests
My primary area of interest is the vestibular system, encompassing both peripheral and central causes such as vestibular migraine, Ménière’s disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD).
Care Philosophy
I am committed to a strong team-based approach, collaborating closely with multiple specialists to deliver the highest quality care to my patients. I believe each patient has a unique story that deserves to be approached with compassion, respect, and an open mind.
