My Philosophy

My primary goal of establishing MS Center of California has been to provide care and state of the art medical evaluation, consultation, and continuous neurological care for patients with Multiple Sclerosis. I believe the most important goal in providing care for MS patients is the scientific and comprehensive evaluation and providing new and effective individualized treatments and therefore improving the quality of life of the patients and ultimately finding cure for the people with MS.

I continuously thrive on learning by being fully updated with all the advancements in the field of MS and by attending seminars, research conferences nationally and internationally around the world including the most recent ECTRIMS (European Committee in Treatment and Research in MS) and thereby applying new and proven scientific knowledge for my patients. I strongly believe in education for patients and family members and to keep my patients well-informed about the newest and best treatments and researches currently available worldwide.

I also strongly believe in providing continues educational programs including community out-reach and educational events for the patients and their families as well as educational seminars for physicians and allied health care providers, MS community, their care-givers, MS support groups and extensive collaborative work with National MS Society and Multiple Sclerosis Association of America educational programs.
