A Personal Statement from Dr. Morovati

"I am a board certified neurologist who has been in practice for more than 15 years. I am dedicated to providing a superior level of care to my patients through compassion, education, and the application of technological advances. My experience over many years of clinical practice has provided me with the skills to manage a vast array of neurological disorders, but my subspecialty training in neuromuscular disorders and practice in a dedicated headache center allow me to deliver specialized care to these groups of patients. I am highly skilled in performing EMG/NCS, interpreting EEGs, and performing skin biopsies for evaluation of peripheral neuropathies. I am also skilled in evaluating and treating patients with complex headaches disorders, including administration of BOTOX and cranial nerve blocks.
