Focused on complex cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery, this board-certified neurosurgeon has extensive experience treating intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, cavernous malformations, carotid stenosis, arteriovenous fistulae, moyamoya disease, venous sinus thrombosis, intracranial atherosclerotic disease, arterial dissections, spinal vascular malformations, and acute ischemic stroke. Clinical expertise includes both open microsurgical and endovascular procedures, as well as management of neurotrauma, skull base pathology, and intracerebral hemorrhage. The expert has performed advanced hybrid procedures combining open and endovascular techniques in a single operative setting and has significant experience with mechanical thrombectomy and cerebrovascular intervention for acute stroke care.

In addition to clinical practice, this expert has served in leadership and operational roles involving neurosurgical program oversight and clinical operations management. Prior responsibilities included providing 24/7 neurovascular coverage at a Level I trauma and tertiary referral center serving as the only advanced primary stroke center in California’s Central Valley. The expert’s practice included treatment of ruptured and unruptured aneurysms, extracranial-to-intracranial bypass procedures, skull base tumor resections, pituitary surgery, and craniofacial reconstruction performed in collaboration with multidisciplinary surgical teams. Teaching responsibilities included supervision of neurosurgery residents, surgical trainees, fellows, and advanced practice providers in operative, inpatient, and outpatient settings.

Educationally, the expert earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry and a Doctor of Medicine degree with distinction, followed by residency training in neurological surgery and fellowship training in endovascular neurosurgery. The expert is certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery and maintains multiple state medical licenses and fluoroscopy certification. Professional memberships include the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Congress of Neurological Surgeons, Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery, American Heart Association, American Stroke Association, and multiple cerebrovascular and tumor specialty sections.

Research and scholarly contributions include participation as co-investigator in multiple NIH-sponsored and industry-sponsored clinical trials involving stroke intervention, carotid stenosis, intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation, aneurysm embolization, and neurovascular device technologies. The expert has authored peer-reviewed publications and conference abstracts addressing venous sinus thrombosis, moyamoya disease, carotid aneurysms, neurovascular stenting, flow diversion, and endovascular treatment outcomes. National and regional invited presentations have addressed cerebrovascular surgery, thrombectomy, carotid disease, intracranial dissections, aneurysm management, and neurovascular intervention techniques. The expert is expanding into expert witness and medicolegal consultation involving neurosurgical and neurovascular matters.
