View this physician on UBMDProfessional Summary:
I am a fellowship-trained pediatric rehabilitation medicine physician (also known as a pediatric physiatrist). My practice focuses on optimizing the health and function of children with disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders, and musculoskeletal disorders.
My clinical interests span the pediatric rehabilitation medicine field and include: Cerebral palsy (including early diagnosis), traumatic brain injury, pediatric stroke, acquired and congenital spinal cord injury, neuromuscular disorders, genetic conditions with spasticity/dystonia, oncology rehabilitation, non-operative musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and adaptive sports. I have a particular interest with the management of various conditions with spasticity and/or dystonia.
I have two primary clinics - both located in the Conventus Building next to Golisano Children’s Hospital of Buffalo. One being The Robert Warner Center for Developmental Pediatrics and Rehabilitation and the other at the Tim Hortons Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Center. I am actively involved in multiple multidisciplinary clinics at the children’s hospital which include the Spina Bifida Clinic, Muscular Dystrophy Clinic, Spasticity Clinic, and Neuro-Oncology Clinic. I also do inpatient consults for the PM&R service at our level I trauma center, Golisano Children’s Hospital of Buffalo.
