I recognize that each individual is a unique person and therefore will have distinct goals for his or her care. The care I provide is deeply rooted in compassion and patience, allowing me to fully understand the goals of my patients.I'm always available to collaborate with referring physicians in the care of a patient.

Care Philosophy: My goal in care is to ensure that each patient is fully educated about the nature of their condition and all available treatment options that may be appropriate for them. Being specialty trained both in open microsurgical cerebrovascular approaches and minimally invasive endovascular techniques affords me a unique perspective. I am able to provide my patients a balanced opinion regarding the relative advantages and disadvantages of each modality, enabling me to individualize treatment for each of them.
