INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS
About My Practice
More than 20 years experience in neurology (Board Certified, ABPN), I have a broadly representative practice where I see patients with migraine, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, sleep disorders, neuromuscular diseases, and a variety of symptoms presentations, including numbness, weakness, fatigue, imbalance, memory loss, involuntary movements, headache and other pain syndromes. My practice integrates the tools of conventional neurology with the skillset of functional medicine. I do accept insurance for conventional neurology while functional medicine is a direct pay, multidisciplinary program called “Brain Tune Up.” I invite you to read more about it on my website.
What Patients Can Expect
I offer a comprehensive approach to functional medicine, called “Brain Tune Up.” My team and I see people from around the country who are willing to commit to an intensive personalized lifestyle medicine program aimed at reversing the effects of chronic neurological disease. Currently, I am the only physician in the world to be certified by Dr. Terry Wahls as a Wahls Protocol Health Professional and the only practicing neurologist (M.D.) to be certified by IFM. Additionally, I have received training in The Bredesen Protocol for reversal of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease, and regularly receive referrals from Dr. Bredesen’s group in California.
