- Professor – Neurology, Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology
- Vice Chair of Community Partnership
I have always believed that health care is a basic human right and that all people should have the same access to quality care regardless of socio-economic status or where they happen to live. This is why I have made it a priority in my practice of diagnosing and managing seizures to develop methods of delivering specialty care outside of traditional, large medical centers.
Clinical Interests
Providing specialty care to under-served and rural populations.
Clinical Research Interests
EEG monitoring in critically ill patients, video EEG monitoring for diagnosis of seizures, non-epileptic seizures and functional neurological disorders
