Clinical Interests:
Obstetric, gynecology, and urology anesthesia

Research Interests:
My interests include obstetric and gynecological anesthesia research.  I am interested in improving the quality of pain control in both the labor wards and the gynecological surgical population. My interests include the use of opioids in obstetric population; I am involved in looking at the incidence and factors related to postdural puncture headaches.  Conservative management of Postdural puncture headache; efficacy of generic propofol.I also have an interest in the management of the difficult airway in general anesthesia
