Summary

• I am double board-certified in neurology and in Brain Injury Medicine. I specialize in general neurology as well as traumatic brain injury, blast injury, concussion, spinal cord injuries, post-traumatic epilepsy, CTE, migraine, and post-traumatic headaches. I am a trained headache proceduralist, with expertise in nerve blocks, Battlefield acupuncture, and Botox. Through a partnership with the Department of Defense and WWP through Operation Mend, I provided comprehensive neurological care for wounded warriors. I also have experience with football sideline assessments and neurological care for the LA Lakers, South Bay Lakers, and UCLA Division 1 athletics. In 2022, I joined CISG as a junior review member for the development of the SCAT6 and SCOAT. The SCAT6 is the gold standard for concussion assessment and widely adopted by all major sporting federations in the world, including FIFA, International Olympic Committee, International Ice Hockey Federation, Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, NFL, NHL, and NBA.
