Headache Medicine

Professional Statement

I am a fellowship-trained neurologist with subspecialty expertise in headache medicine. My clinical practice focuses on the diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of primary and secondary headache disorders, including migraine, cluster headache, and new daily persistent headache. I offer advanced procedural therapies such as Botox, peripheral nerve blocks, sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) blocks, trigger point injections, and infusion treatments.

My academic interests include developing novel therapeutic targets for migraine and investigating the relationship between migraine and dysautonomia. I am committed to delivering patient-centered care while contributing to research and program development that advance the field of headache medicine.
