Summary

• I am a board certified neurologist and movement disorders neurologist at the University of Colorado Denver. I completed my undergraduate and graduate education at the University of Colorado. Thereafter, I obtained my medical degree from the University of Vermont and a completed a translation research fellowship studying the effects of stem cell transplantation in Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease at the University of Colorado under the mentorship of Dr. John Sladek. I completed my neurology residency at the University of Colorado Denver and my clinical fellowship in movement disorders and advanced treatments in movement disorders at the Toronto Western Hospital under the mentorships of Drs. A.E. Lang and A. Fasano, respectively. I study treatment options for advanced Parkinson’s disease including novel drug delivery systems, carbidopa levodopa enteral suspension (Duopa) and deep brain stimulation. I established our carbidopa levodopa enteral suspension program and evaluate and manage patients with deep brain stimulation. My research interests are improving deep brain stimulation including researching novel targets. I see patients at three different locations: University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, UCHealth Boulder Health Center, and Denver Health.
