Description

I know that visiting a pediatric neurosurgeon can sound intimidating. My goal is to educate families and engage patients to help reduce the anxiety that can be associated with visiting a doctor. I do this through conversation, listening, laying out expectations and reviewing the child's imaging during the office or hospital visit. Questions are welcomed and encouraged, as they display family engagement and understanding. While taking care of the patient is my top priority, family participation and acceptance are also of profound importance.I treat a variety of conditions, including cerebrovascular disorders, myelomeningocele (spina bifida), brain and spinal cord tumors, pediatric epilepsy, Chiari malformations, tethered spinal cord, hydrocephalus and spine trauma. Special procedures I perform include endoscopic third ventriculostomy, endoscopic arachnoid cyst fenestration, microsurgery for brain and spine tumors, arteriovenous malformations and cavernous malformations, and epilepsy surgery.My research interests include pediatric cerebrovascular disease and quality improvement.
