Professional Summary:

I am a Board Certified Neurologist (ABPN) who is fellowship trained in both Vascular Neurology and Neuroimaging. I completed my Residency training in Neurology from McMaster University, Canada and recently completed a Double Fellowship in Vascular Neurology from SUNY Buffalo and Neuroimaging from Dent Neurological Institute before joining Gates Vascular Institute, Buffalo General Medical Center. I am also Board Certified in Neuroimaging accredited by UCNS.

I have also obtained a Master’s in Science focusing on the basic science of Insulin Signalling at the molecular level in the context of type II Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity. I completed my medical training at University of Sydney, Australia and prior to entering my speciality training. I worked in general and acute care medicine for 5 years in several hospitals located in Sydney-Australia, Dublin-Ireland, and London Uk.

My Clinical focus involves inpatient stroke service at Gates Vascular Institute and Outpatient stroke neurology at UBMD Neurology Williamsville and Conventus locations. I also have an expanded interest in Neuroimaging in the Memory Clinic at UBMD Neurology as well as working in the outpatient memory and adult concussion clinics.
