About
Bio
I specialize in helping patients with cerebrovascular diseases (strokes, brain hemorrhages, subarachnoid hemorrhages) I am board certified in Vascular Neurology, Neurocritical care and NeuroImaging I see patients in all stages of their disease, starting from emergency room and intensive care to follow up in clinic. I also see patient with TIA in my clinic. I prefer to see patients before they will develop a stroke and try to prevent it by counseling on healthy diet, exercise, and correction of other stroke risk factors.
