Within the division, I focus on . . .
Clinically, I am an expert in diagnosis and treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system. I also have several significant administrative roles including medical director of our Imaging and Neurosciences Center as well as director of our Morbidity and Mortality conferences.
You can find my faculty profile here.
Current Research Projects & Funding
I work with the Seigal Rare Neuroimmune Association (SRNA) for patient advocacy and education for patients with transverse myelitis, neuromyelitis optica, MOG-associated neurological disease, and other rare autoimmune neurological conditions. In my administrative roles, I work to improve patient access and outcomes from an operations and quality improvement standpoint.
I see patients at . . .
Imaging and Neurosciences Center for outpatient clinics. I also see patients at the Salt Lake VA. In addition, I also staff inpatient at both the University of Utah Hospital along with the Salt Lake VA.
