My Philosophy
Your brain is who you are: it is everything that makes you as a person. Your personality, your interests, your likes and dislikes. And I don't take that lightly.
I became a neurosurgeon because I want to want to keep you as you are, but treat your conditions as safely and effectively as possible.
My practice is built on a simple belief: a patient who understands their condition makes better decisions, experiences less fear, and recovers with more confidence. Before I recommend any treatment — or recommend against one — I take the time to explain the anatomy, the options, the risks of acting versus waiting, and what life looks like on the other side.
Endovascular neurosurgery exists at the intersection of precision engineering and human biology. Most conditions that once required open brain surgery can now be treated through a catheter the width of a strand of spaghetti, navigated through blood vessels to the exact site of disease. My job is to know when that approach is right for you — and when it isn't.
I see innovation not as an end in itself, but as a means to give patients better options. That's why I've pushed to design and improve new technology, studying what works and what doesn't, and training the next generation of surgeons in the latest technology. The standard of care tomorrow depends on the questions we ask today.
