Care Philosophy
Neuromuscular medicine is complex and no two patients' experiences are alike. I believe the foundation of excellent care begins with truly listening to a patient. Understanding a patient's story in detail and carefully performing a thorough neurological exam are crucial steps for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. My goal is to approach every patient with curiosity, compassion and precision, ensuring they feel heard and supported as we navigate these challenging conditions together.
Specializing In
Neuromuscular medicine including neuropathies like CIDP (chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy), muscular dystrophies, ALS, myasthenia gravis, myositis to name a few.
Procedures include EMG, nerve conduction studies and skin biopsies to test for small fiber neuropathy.
Interests & Activities
I am a member of AANEM (American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine)
I enjoy hiking, reading and practicing speaking Spanish
