In her practice, she provides epilepsy education, neurological evaluation, diagnostic tests, medication management, care coordination, inpatient epilepsy monitoring, as well as surgery planning when needed. Her goal is to minimize the impact of epilepsy on her patients’ physical and mental health, as well as empowering them with medical resources to improve their daily life and overall wellness.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
