Medical Expertise and Philosophy

Areas of Specialization: Clinical Neurophysiology

Past Medical Practice and Experience: Before joining Bingham Nerve & Muscle, I practiced Neurology and my subspecialty of Clinical Neurophysiology in Tupelo, MS from 1998-2023.

Approach to Patient Care: As a board-certified neurologist and clinical neurophysiologist working in a board-certified EMG/NCS laboratory, we provide peripheral nervous system testing of exemplary quality. I will explain the EMG procedure and use techniques taught to me during my fellowship training at Mayo Clinic that minimize discomfort. Most patients who have had testing elsewhere report that our testing was much more comfortable. Shortly after completion of your test, I will prepare a report that will assist your healthcare provider in making a diagnosis and directing your treatment. The provider will have the report by noon the following weekday.
