"Every patient is unique in his or her own way and should be treated as a whole. I aim to understand my patients' challenges from their perspective to achieve the best medical outcomes and help them return to doing what they love."

I believe that the foundation for a patient's successful treatment at any activity level includes a thorough individualized evaluation of each patient's body biomechanics and goals, discussion of evidence-based research related to their condition, and empowering each patient to become educated about their condition and take an active role in their treatment.

I am a neurosurgeon with clinical activities focused upon the usage of minimally invasive, stereotactic techniques for the treatment of functional disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and epilepsy. I also use surgical methods to implant devices such as spinal cord stimulators and opiate pumps to treat complex pain, and I am a expert in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and hydrocephalus. I have pioneered the use of gene therapy in the brain and have published more than 40 papers and edited two books on this subject. I recently completed the first clinical trial of gene therapy for Parkinson's disease for FDA approval, and my laboratory is actively researching mechanisms of cell death in diseases such as Parkinson's and Huntington's. I am the recipient of numerous awards, including the Young Investigator Award from the American Society for Gene Therapy and was named to Crain's '40 under 40' list for 2004. I currently serve on the editorial boards of several journals, and am the editor for the Web site of the World Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery.
