About me

  • Director, EEG Laboratories, Penn Medicine
  • Program Director, Epilepsy Fellowship, Penn Medicine
  • Program Director, Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship, Penn Medicine
  • Professor of Clinical Neurology

My goal is to provide the best possible care for people with epilepsy and/or concern for seizures. I have a particular interest in working with people with difficult to control seizures who are seeking additional options, including new medications, devices and surgical options. While seizure control remains a primary goal, I feel that the actual goal is to optimize the quality of life for my patients.
