My Internship was completed at the University of Texas Health Science Center in 1984, as was my Neurosurgical Residency, which I completed in 1989. In 1989 I completed a Fellowship in Epilepsy and Functional Neurosurgery at the University of Minnesota, and in 1990 a Pediatric Neurosurgery Fellowship at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. I am certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery and American Board of Pediatric Neurological Surgery. Boop
I am currently a consultant on an NIH program project in investigation cytokines involved in the reparative cascade of events within the central nervous system following injury. Additionally, I am also involved as a principle investigator in a multi-center clinical trial of new programmable shunt valves and involved in the clinical investigation of outcomes following surgery for intractable epilepsy and spasticity.
