Professional History
I trained in the Longwood Neurology Program and specialized in Child Neurology. Afterwards, I was a clinical fellow in Behavioral Neurology. I was involved in research on medulloblastoma, motor impairment in children with attention problems, learning disabilities in children with neurofibromatosis, William’s syndrome and outcome of children after surgical corrections for congenital heart disease.
Approach to Care
I’m a people person from way back. I had a superb mentor, Martha Denckla MD, a leader in the field of developmental disorders of childhood. I had originally wanted to be a teacher. Most neurological problems are entities that people have to live with for a long time. I take on the role of ‘teacher’ in regards to understanding the neurologic process and how it plays out in the individual.
