About Me

Some neurologic disorders can be devastating, and so if there’s any way that you can prevent further neurologic deterioration -- that’s what’s important to me. I try to help these children so that they can have a better life -- whether it’s curing them, putting them into remission, or just improving their neurologic problem.
