I have devoted my career as a physician to treating patients with multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, and other immune-mediated central nervous system disorders. Using a personalized and multidisciplinary treatment approach, I have been providing neurological care at the highest professional level, aiming to improve functionality and quality of life in my patients. My professional philosophy has not been only based on reaching and maintaining a high level of expertise in the field, but also on honesty, trust, and empathy as the basis for the successful physician-patient relationship.
