Biography

My two areas of specific expertise within neurosurgery are cerebrovascular neurosurgery and spine surgery.

 

I treat the entire spectrum of blood vessel problems in the head, neck, and spinal cord.  Sometimes we approach the blood vessels from the outside with microsurgery.  For example, I perform clipping of intracranial aneurysms, carotid endarterectomies, and microvascular decompressions. Other times we treat the vessels from within using endovascular techniques. For example, I perform coiling of intracranial aneurysms, carotid artery stenting, and embolization of vascular malformations. A significant portion of my cerebrovascular practice involves emergency care, including acute stroke interventions and brain hemorrhages. My training in both microsurgery and endovascular surgery enables me to tailor the surgical strategy for each individual patient.
