General neurology, peripheral nerve and muscle disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, neurologic education

Research Interests:
My current research efforts center around diagnosis and treatment of disorders in general neurology and neuromuscular disease.  I am involved in writing general reviews for primary care physicians and for neurologists.  I also review specific topics in neurology with emphasis on patient care issues and treatment options.  Clinical research projects will center on peripheral nerve disorders.
