I am a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurologist in the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group (PAFMG). My mission is to connect patients with the best care that science has to offer. I am passionate about reducing the impact of psychological stress on patient health and have authored original research on this topic.

I specialize in the management of neurological disease and have a particular interest in neuromuscular disorders, including neuropathy (nerve disease), myopathy (muscle disease), radiculopathy (nerve root disease), myasthenia gravis, and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). I have expertise in neurophysiologic testing (EMG/NCS) and botulinum toxin injections for the evaluation and treatment of peripheral nervous system disorders.
