Professional Statement
I am a pediatric neurologist, clinical neurophysiologist and epileptologist dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for children with epilepsy. My clinical interests include drug-resistant epilepsy, pediatric epilepsy surgery, developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. I am passionate about working closely with patients, families, and multidisciplinary teams to develop individualized treatment plans that improve quality of life and long-term outcomes. As a physician, my goal is to combine outstanding clinical care, meaningful research, and education to improve the lives of children with epilepsy while mentoring the next generation of pediatric neurologists and epileptologists.
