I am a Pediatric Neurology, with a specialty in Headache Medicine. I am trained to see both pediatric and adult patients. The bulk of my practice is dedication to pediatric and young adult patients with headache disorders, often chronic and sometimes refractory pain disorders. As headache is a prominent symptom in concussions I have a lot of experience in concussion as well. I do also see patients for autism and ADHD in my practice.
