Professional philosophy

For me, each neurological patient is a unique story that needs to be understood and comprehensively cared for – the doctor not only treats during severe illness but also accompanies long‑term for the best recovery. I pursue treatment based on medical evidence and clinical experience, closely monitoring each stage and listening to personalize the treatment plan. My goal is to help patients overcome the acute phase, prevent recurrence, optimize recovery and return to an independent, meaningful life.

Cognitive decline – memory impairment: Examination and screening for memory loss, dementia; evaluate causes (vascular, Alzheimer’s/degeneration…); provide treatment counseling, long‑term monitoring and care for patients and families.

Epilepsy (seizure): Diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, seizures; differentiate fainting – seizures; advise safe medication use, relapse prevention and appropriate lifestyle guidance.
