“The field of pediatric neurology is both challenging and rewarding. It is a profound privilege to make a difference in the lives of children and their families. As a Pediatric neurologist, I am compassionate about educating, advocating and helping families navigate the complexities of their child’s condition, treatment options, and potential outcomes.
