I am a fellowship trained neurologist and sub-specialist in cerebrovascular and stroke medicine with board certifications in the following 5 areas: neurology, stroke medicine, carotid neurosonology, transcranial doppler ultrasound, and neuroimaging.
I was a practicing neurohospitalist and stroke medical director at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle before leaving to start Sentinel Healthcare. Sentinel was born out of a desire to make healthcare continuous and within reach starting with hypertension.
I am also a passionate traveler and photographer. Feel free to view my work: www.thoughtpotential.com.
