Professional History

After completing residency in pediatric neurology at Boston Children’s hospital, I stayed on as a fellow in Epilepsy/Clinical Neurophysiology.  I joined the department as a staff physician in July 2012 and see patients in clinic in our Weymouth satellite.  I enjoy seeing patients with various neurologic disorders but have a special interest in patients with epilepsy.  In addition to working in the clinic, I also spend time supervising the epilepsy in-patient and neurology consult services.  During my training I became interested in epilepsy surgery and have been focusing my research work into looking at factors that influence the success of epilepsy surgery.

Entering medical school with a background in neuroscience, I was naturally drawn to neurology. After rotating in pediatrics and enjoying my time spent with this patient population, it made sense to pursue a career in pediatric neurology. I am thankful that I can do something I love and help families while doing so.

Spending most of my early years in the south, I think I bring a more laid-back, southern attitude to our department. Despite my roots, I love living in Boston and feel it’s a great place to raise my family of three energetic little boys. When not at work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, playing sports, hiking, biking or whatever other adventure we may stumble upon.
