About me

I studied medicine for the sole purpose of helping others. I specifically became a Neurologist because I knew it was the field that would allow me to provide better care. Neurology is a specialty that focuses on many degenerative illnesses and by studying this I would be able to truly bring support to the unhealthy. I must admit that I also studied Neurology because of my dream that someday I will make a big discovery that could help people worldwide. I very much enjoy sharing my knowledge with my patients while supporting them in an honest and ethical manner.
