Summary

I specialize in vascular neurology and neuro-intensive care, holding the position of Medical Director of Neurocritical Care at Prisma Health Neurology-Upstate. My expertise covers the management of conditions such as ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, traumatic intracranial hypertension, along with emergency neurological and critical care. In my role as teaching faculty, I contribute to the training and mentorship of neurology graduate trainees.

My research is centered on patient outcomes in cerebrovascular disease, traumatic intracranial hypertension, as well as emergency and critical neurological care.
