Notes:
“I have the privilege and responsibility of caring for patients who have serious conditions that affect the blood vessels of the brain and the base of the skull. It has always been my belief that intense subspecialization (limiting my practice to the treatment of a small number of complex disease processes) and a multidisciplinary team approach allows us to provide the full spectrum of treatment options and the very best outcomes to each patient.”
