Summary
I am a board certified neurologist in private practice. I have a busy private practice where I see a wide variety of adult neurologic patients, and I also take on call shifts at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, twice a week for strokes, intracranial hemorrhages, seizures, encephalopathy and many other acute neurologic conditions. At Good Samaritan Hospital I serve as chair of the neurosciences department and am soon completing my two year term. In the past I have also served on the credentials and quality committees at Good Samaritan Hospital as part of my duties as vice chair. I have been a practicing neurologist for 21 years now.
