Recognized for more than 20 years of experience in neurology, this neurologist and neurology expert witness provides clinical and litigation-related analysis involving brain injury and trauma, seizure disorders, migraines and headache conditions, Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain syndromes, tremors, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, neurotoxin-related neurological conditions, and neuromuscular disorders. The expert has more than 10 years of experience providing consultations, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony in neurological matters. Clinical expertise includes adult neurology, electrodiagnostic medicine, clinical neurophysiology, and evaluation of neurological conditions affecting cognitive, motor, sensory, and neuromuscular function.

A substantial portion of the expert’s professional career has involved long-standing private practice neurology experience in addition to service as Section Chief of Neurology, Associate Professor of Neurology, Medical Director of an ALS-focused clinic, and Co-Director of a muscular dystrophy clinic. Additional leadership and governance responsibilities have included Interim Director of Stroke, Chairman of Neurology and Epileptologist Search Committees, member of executive and promotions committees, and participation on an Institutional Review Board. The expert also serves on the board of the National Myasthenia Gravis Foundation and has participated in academic and clinical leadership responsibilities involving faculty recruitment, review, and neurology services oversight.

Advanced neurological analysis and treatment experience encompass seizure-induced brain injury, movement disorders, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, post-stroke spasticity, restless leg syndrome, autonomic dysfunction, cervical dystonia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and neurodegenerative disease processes. The expert’s neuromuscular medicine and electrodiagnostic background includes evaluation and management of disorders affecting peripheral nerves, muscles, neuromuscular junctions, and motor function. Additional expertise includes chronic neuropathic pain conditions, epilepsy-related neurological injury, tremor disorders, and neurological complications associated with degenerative and systemic disease processes.

Extensive participation in neurological research and clinical investigation has involved therapeutic studies and clinical trials related to migraine treatment, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, neuropathic pain, epilepsy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, restless leg syndrome, autonomic dysfunction, post-stroke spasticity, and electrodiagnostic technologies. Published research has addressed neuron-specific biomarkers associated with status epilepticus, intracranial aneurysm-related seizures, and seizure-induced neurological injury. The expert has also participated in clinical investigations involving neurotoxins, movement disorders, and emerging neurological therapies.

Professional distinctions include Diplomate certification through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine. The expert also established the first accredited electrodiagnostic laboratory in Nevada recognized by the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine. Professional memberships include the American Academy of Neurology and the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine. Academic credentials include a Doctor of Medicine, a Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology completed through an honors curriculum, residency training in neurology, fellowship training in clinical neurophysiology, and an internal medicine internship.
