Patient care Philosophy:

I believe that electrodiagnosis(EMG/NCV) is an indispensable tool in the understanding of the peripheral nerves and truly an extension of the neurological examination. Its value derives entirely from the thoroughness, competence, and clinical skills of the electromyographer. My ultimate goal is to provide excellence in diagnosis which will aid in better clinical outcome for each and every patient
