About

My Inspiration

I was drawn to medicine by the chance to solve complex problems and make a meaningful difference in critical moments. Neurointerventional surgery combines advanced technology, anatomy and rapid decision-making, allowing me to treat strokes, aneurysms and vascular conditions with life-changing impact. 

What I’m Passionate About

I focus on providing compassionate, patient-centered care that empowers individuals and their families. I treat acute strokes, cerebral aneurysms and complex cerebrovascular disease using minimally invasive procedures that improve outcomes and recovery. I am also committed to building advanced stroke programs and sharing knowledge to raise care standards across the region. 

Off the Clock

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family, being involved in my children's lives and exploring the outdoors. Travel, hands-on projects and community engagement help me stay grounded and energized for my patients.

My Commitment to You

I approach patient care with compassion, clear communication and clinical excellence. I treat every patient as I would a family member, ensuring you feel informed, supported and confident throughout your care.
