Overview
I am a Movement Disorders Neurologist and see patients at the Morreene Road Clinic. I have a particular clinical interest in Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. My current focus includes expanding access to subspecialty neurological care to people with advanced movement disorders who find coming to clinic challenging by providing in-home and in-facility care.
I have master's level training in medical education. I work primarily with residents and fellows including chairing an international lecture series for trainees interested in Movement Disorders.
