Clinical Interests
My clinical interests include both the endovascular and surgical treatment of cerebrovascular disorders such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and fistulae, cavernous malformations, Moyamoya disease, carotid artery disease and stroke. I also treat disorders of the spine and tumors of the central nervous system.

Volunteer Activities
I am a member of the medical advisor board for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation as well as a physician representative for the local Jamie Beck Foundation.

Public Speaking
Yes
I have presented original research at regional, national and international events. I also focus on patient education and have given talks and webinars on brain aneurysm treatment and stroke.
