Practice philosophy: I am a neurosurgeon with dual fellowship training in neurosurgical oncology and pediatric neurosurgery. I provide a patient centered medical care, and have an interest in transitional neurosurgery - or, treating the adult neurosurgical conditions developed by former pediatric neurosurgical patients to ensure continuity of care across a lifetime. I utilize a multidisciplinary, teams based approach to offer the best care tailored to my patients' individual circumstances and needs.
