About Me (Personal URL, Bio, Languages, Etc)
I am a neurosurgeon in the Brain Center of Excellence at the Department of Neurosurgery and part of the Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. I focus on operative work for brain tumors as well as radiosurgery such as gamma knife, but I also perform some spine surgery, surgery for adult hydrocephalus (including endoscopic procedures, shunting with programmable valves), and peripheral nerve surgery. We also are the first in the country to have the Medtronic PoleStar N30 intraoperative MRI to aid in tumor resection.
