Vision

In July 2023, my wife Phoebe and I volunteered in Guatemala, helping set up and run clinics in remote and very underserved areas. I had just completed my sixth year at a Pasadena neurology group practice where I worked as a sleep neurologist and sleep medical director.

This Guatemala experience helped remind and reinforce the very reason why I choose medicine. In my reflections, the word that I kept receiving was “compassion”. What was clear to me was the importance of practicing with compassion, in an environment where there is mutual trust between patient and doctor, and where the patient is listened to and truly valued. That is why I have decided to launch my own practice under the name "Compassionate Sleep Neurologist".

My vision and aim is a practice model where the focus is quality over quantity, and having easier, affordable access to the neurologist while reducing wait times for communication and appointments.

My hope and priority is improving the quality of care and accessibility to MDs...bringing medicine back to its most beautiful and original form.

Thank you for listening to my story, and I am looking forward to hearing yours.
