Best Neurology Specialists in Charlotte, NC

My mother is a nurse practitioner. From the time I was young, I wanted to be a doctor. \n When I was a teenager, my grandfather had a massive stroke, and one of my closest friends was diagnosed with brain cancer in the same year. As a result of those dual experiences, I felt called to neurology. I wanted to help make this world better for those with neurological diseases. \n As I furthered my training, I realized my heart was called to headache disorders and to obstetric neurology, so I continued my training through fellowship opportunities. I am proud to serve the Charlotte area as a subspecialist in these two areas. I'm a board-certified headache specialist. \n I have found that patients often know their body and their symptoms better than anyone. Every patient has their own story to tell. When doctors listen closely to those stories, it's easier for us to determine the right diagnosis and the right plan for that patient. No two patients are alike, and each deserves individualized care. \n At Novant Health, I serve as lead neurologist in the greater Charlotte area, vice chair of the physician governance committee, head of the comprehensive headache center, and founder and head of obstetrics/women's neurology. I'm also communications director for the Southern Headache Society. \n I've published several articles in peer-reviewed journals, and I frequently speak at academic conferences. \n Teaching the physicians of tomorrow is important to me, and I serve as an adjunct professor and fourth-year neurology clerkship director at the UNC School of Medicine branch campus at Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center; assistant professor at Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine; and as a member of the teaching faculty in the Novant Health Family Medicine Residency Program. \n I am married with two growing boys, and my family means the world to me. As a family, we love trail running, mountain biking, kayaking and rock climbing.

My father was a physician who enjoyed his profession and loved serving people. While growing up, I always wanted to emulate him. Also, I was a science enthusiast from a young age and wanted a profession that allowed me to use science and to interact with and learn from the life experiences of others. \n I have a keen eye and ear. Being a parent myself, I have realized how vital it is to listen to parental concerns along with making my own clinical observations during office visits. Both are extremely important in the field of child neurology. \n I moved to the U.S. from India in 2007. I went to medical school in India and then did six years of additional medical training here in the U.S. I am fortunate to practice my profession here, as doctors in the U.S. are doing the best scientific research in the field of genetics and have far better resources for children with development challenges than any other country. \n I was honored to win a "Charlotte Top Doctor Award" from Castle Connolly in 2021 and 2022. \n My husband and I stay busy with our three boys. I enjoy yoga, gardening, cooking and traveling with family and friends.
