A bit about myself

I currently maintain a clinical practice at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where I see patients with a variety of neurologic conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, developmental delay, ADHD, learning disabilities, tics, headaches, and cognitive/ behavioral management in neuromuscular disorders.  I hold an academic/ research appointment as Assistant Professor at UCLA in the Departments of Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences.  My current research interest remains in the area of autism.  I am proud to contribute to the training of the next generation of physicians including those specializing in Pediatrics, Child Psychiatry, and Child and Adult Neurology, and enjoy giving talks on various neurologic topics locally and nationally.  I am a member of the Child Neurology Society, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, UCLA CART (Center for Autism Research and Treatment), and The Help Group-UCLA Autism Research Alliance.  I also serve on the Advisory Board of Healthy Child Healthy World.  I enjoy art, music, yoga, skiing, and relaxing with my family.
