Neurological disorders are often complex, and the same disease can manifest differently in each individual. Moreover, symptoms often morph and evolve with every season of life. Because of this ever changing quality, I believe that neurological care should be adaptive and tailored to each individual’s dynamic needs. As a neurologist, I love the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with my patients to best assist them on their healthcare journeys.

What’s Interesting

I’m a digital artist who specializes in anatomy and cartoons. Currently, I am working on a series of floral anatomy art. They consist of layering plants and flowers together to create a larger picture of anatomical organs. I love designing the intricate details of flora and finding similarities to the human body.

What I do at NNA

I founded the division of Newport Neurology Associates under the parent company Newport Concierge Physicians. I am the current chair of Neurology and plan to expand the department into a multidisciplinary center for patients with neurological disorders.

What I focus on

My specialty training is in movement disorders, which includes diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease, Essential Tremor, Dystonia to name a few. It is a wonderful time to be in this specialty with the exponential growth in our understanding of these diseases and treatment modalities in the past few decades. I foresee even more innovation and opportunities for my patients in the years to come, which is extremely exciting! 

I believe good quality of life looks different for everyone. As such, I account for each individual’s life experiences and tailor my approach to what’s important for each individual. I believe in caring for patients in the context of their communities, and concierge care allows me to utilize creative and innovative ways to create such resources for patients.
