I am a board-certified neurosurgeon focused on brain, spine and peripheral nerve disease. My goal is to restore patients' neurologic function. I'm here to improve their quality of life. An important part of my care is walking patients through the decision-making process. Meeting with a neurosurgeon often involves conversations about difficult diagnoses and complex treatments. Those conversations can be hard to digest. That is why I address patients' concerns clearly, comprehensively and compassionately. I want them to feel comfortable and informed about their care decisions. While I love taking care of all patients, my specific areas of focus are: Peripheral nerve surgery Functional surgery Epilepsy surgery Facial pain These conditions are often chronic and painful. They can make life's activities difficult to enjoy. But with the right surgical approach, patients see life-changing results. My team at Dartmouth Health makes achieving those results possible. We pursue evidence-based, personalized care for patients. Through innovative research and collaborations from the laboratory to the bedside, we advance scientific discovery. Together, we provide world-class care to our community.
