A Holistic Approach
"Neurological diseases often carry with them changes not only in the patient’s level of function, but also may bring with them changes in the patient’s life at home, work or productivity, and even interpersonal relationships. My goal is to help patients navigate through these and other aspects of their life. It is a holistic approach and one that both patients and their families appreciate."Department of Neurology
