As a functional neurosurgeon at �����о��� Langone, I am deeply committed to enhancing the lives of my patients through cutting-edge technology and compassionate care. Growing up in a household in which caring for others was a fundamental value, I was inspired by my parents—a devoted pediatrician and a social worker. This upbringing instilled in me a profound dedication to helping those in need, which I carry into my practice every day.

I specialize in treating serious neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, chronic pain, and psychiatric disorders. With over 20 years of experience, I have honed my expertise in neuromodulation techniques, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS). These groundbreaking technologies offer hope and improved quality of life for patients who have not found relief through traditional treatments. Additionally, I am proficient in using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a recent advancement that further expands the range of patients who can benefit from these innovative therapies.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to proactive healthcare engagement, working closely with my esteemed colleague, Dr. Michael H. Pourfar, and other experts in neurology, pain management, and psychiatry. Together, we provide our patients with the latest advances in personalized clinical care and the opportunity to participate in clinical trials aimed at improving patient outcomes. My approach is rooted in fostering strong partnerships with my patients, ensuring they feel supported and empowered throughout their healthcare journey.

My educational journey began with a degree in computer science, followed by a combined MD and PhD in neuroscience from ������� Grossman School of Medicine. My fascination with technology and the human brain naturally led me to the field of functional neurosurgery. The ability to leverage advanced technology to make a tangible difference in patients' lives is what drives my passion for this specialty. At ������� Langone, I am proud to be part of a team dedicated to providing coordinated care that prioritizes overall wellbeing and patient satisfaction.
