I am a pediatric neurosurgeon at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. I specialize in the care of children and adolescents with disorders of the brain and spine such as Chiari malformations, brain tumors, hydrocephalus, craniosynostosis, intracranial cysts, and spina bifida. I am particularly interested in minimally invasive procedures including endoscopic surgery.

I enjoy the hands-on experience of treating pediatric neurosurgery patients—especially helping them return to doing the things they enjoy. I treasure working closely with each family and approach the management of their child as I would if I were treating one of my own family members.

Families can expect a thorough explanation of the diagnosis and management options thereby allowing them to be as comfortable as possible making treatment decisions.

In addition to providing patient care, I am also involved in clinical research to further understand and improve treatment options and outcomes for our patients.
