Clinical expertise

Headache medicine & migraine management — chronic migraine, episodic migraine, tension-type headache, cluster headache, medication-overuse headache, facial pain including trigeminal neuralgia, and headache with dizziness.

Neurology — epilepsy and seizure disorders, stroke and TIA, movement disorders (Parkinson's, tremor), neuropathy, dizziness and vertigo, and general neurological assessment.

Cognitive neurology — memory concerns, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and brain health guidance.

Neurodiagnostics where indicated — EEG, EMG/NCS considerations are discussed when clinical findings warrant them; use is individualized, not routine.

Approach to care

Patient care is guided by careful listening, detailed neurological assessment, transparent explanation of findings, and evidence-based management aligned with ICHD-3 and standard neurology references. The focus is on accurate diagnosis, education, lifestyle guidance where appropriate, and coordinated follow-up — avoiding exaggerated claims and ensuring patients understand benefits, limitations, and next steps. Rated for Kathmandu headache care depth: diary-based assessment, red-flag screening, and medication-overuse review.

Education includes discussion of benefits, limitations, and alternatives, and planning for follow-up.
