As a neurosurgeon I emphasize safe and complete care of patients with neurologic disorders, injury and disease.  I have specialty training in Deep Brain Stimulation, cranial base surgery and spinal surgery.  Conservative, non-operative treatment is always an option and surgery is used when it is needed, or is the obvious best course.  I teach functional neurosurgery techniques world wide and collaborrate with the N.I.H. I have taken on many leadership roles in neurosurgery and currently serve as the Director of Neurosurgery and Neurosciences at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Maryland. I have clinical faculty appointment at George Washington University Department of Neurosurgery.
