Surgical Neurophysiologist:

I have worked as a neurophysiologist with different brain and spine surgery programs in the US and

overseas performing neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring with image guidance. Also employed

integrated functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for pre operative mapping of cortical areas

associated with tactile, motor, language, and visual functions, made use of real time neurosurgical

navigation for cranial and spine application with stealth navigation system & floronav intra operatively.

Successfully developed, organized and ran neuro monitoring programs with different teaching, private

hospitals, and surgery centers and also in private practice. I have used multiple modalities for

neuromonitoring like field action potentials FEP's for deep brain stimulation DBS, SSEP's, MEP's,, Evoked

and free run EMG's, Analog and Digital EEG's with FFT, CSA, DSA, Doppler studies and WADA testing

with brain and cranial nerves mapping, fMRI and also image guidance for proper trajectory.

Neurosurgical First Assist:

I have first assisted in general and specialized neurosurgeries and also performed neuro monitoring on the

following surgical procedures: Anterior cervical discectomy, corpectomy, vertabrectomy, lumbo sacral

decompression for adequacy of nerve root decompression, scoliosis correction, instrumentation for spinal

instability including pedicle and lateral mass screws, stabilization of odontoid/dens fracture, spinal cord

neoplasm, Pterygian band release, femoral lengthening, pelvic hip arthroplasty, peripheral nerve surgery,

thermal capsulorrhaphy, acetabular fractures, spinal fusions with instrumentation and complicated hip

revision surgery. Craniotomies also awake craniotomies for the tumor resection, functional mapping of

brain, spinal cord neoplasm, diskectomies, laminectomies, aneurysms and instrumentation. In addition,

seizure ablation surgeries also helped with localization of sub thalamic nuclei for tremor disorders. Further

more cranio facial, maxillo facial, brachial plexus, spina bifida, untethering of spinal cord, epilepsy and

vascular (AVM and Aneurysms)and cardiovascular surgeries.

Time with multiple academic and as clinical faculty in the United States and overseas I have been integrally

involved in the medical education, supervision, evaluation, and research mentorship of medical students,

interns, residents and fellows under training.

Several years of participating in the education of fellow trainee junior to me and peers while attending

residency, fellowship, as a faculty and respectively in private setup beside academics.

Over the years the bulk of my clinical practice and teaching efforts have been concentrated in the field of

neurosciences where I played a prominent role nationally and internationally. In addition senior fellows

undergoing subspecialty training in neurosciences have been directly under my tutelage. I also have been Ad

Hoc reviewer of various neurosciences chapters.
