About

Biography

I'm a pediatric neurosurgeon specializing in cerebrovascular skull base procedures. I do not treat diseases; I treat patients. I always want family members and caregivers involved in all aspects of patient care.

My father inspired me to become a surgeon. I am fascinated by how the brain functions, and this has remained my passion to study and treat since I was a young medical student.

I strive to improve the lives and outcomes of children who are suffering physically and mentally. In addition to my clinical practice, I’m a researcher aiming to improve the treatment of children with cerebrovascular diseases.

When I'm not working, I enjoy listening to music, traveling and watching soccer and football.
