About
In addition to general pediatric neurosurgery, my unique area of expertise is minimally invasive (aka endoscopic) repair of craniosynostosis. Additionally, I have expertise in epilepsy surgery (pediatric and adult), surgical treatment of brain and spinal cord tumors, and vascular surgery for moyamoya disease.
