About Me
As a pediatric neurologist at NYU Langone Neurology Associates, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to children with neurologic conditions. My approach is centered on understanding the unique needs of children and their family, ensuring they receive personalized support and guidance throughout their healthcare journey. I believe in a collaborative process in which families are actively involved in the discovery and management of their child's neurologic health.
I specialize in treating a wide range of neurologic conditions in children, with a particular focus on early childhood issues such as complications arising from prematurity and neonatal brain injury. My expertise extends to evaluating and managing young children with speech and language delays, as well as those diagnosed with autism. By addressing these conditions early, I aim to positively impact the developmental trajectory of my patients.
With more than 30 years of experience in pediatric neurology, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by families dealing with neurologic difficulties. My extensive training, including a neonatal neurology fellowship, has equipped me with the skills to provide specialized care for the developing brain. I am committed to helping families navigate the complexities of neurologic conditions, offering them the tools and knowledge they need to support their child's development.
My journey into pediatric neurology began during my pediatric residency, where I was fascinated by the effects of neurologic injury and developmental abnormalities on the developing brain. This interest led me to pursue additional training in neonatal neurology, further deepening my understanding of the field. My passion for helping children and their families has been the driving force behind my career, and I am honored to be part of the NYU Langone team, where I can collaborate with other experts to provide the highest standard of coordinated care.
