About Me
I’m a physician in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at MetroHealth. I’ve been part of the team here since 2003, and I specialize in caring for patients with brain injuries—both in the hospital and in outpatient settings. I’m also board-certified in electrodiagnostic medicine and perform EMG studies to help diagnose neuromuscular conditions.
My approach to care is centered on understanding each patient’s unique challenges and goals. Whether you’re recovering from a brain injury or dealing with nerve or muscle issues, I’m here to help guide your recovery with compassion, expertise, and a focus on improving your quality of life.
I speak both English and Mandarin, and I’m proud to serve a diverse community. I also teach as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, helping train the next generation of physicians.
It’s a privilege to walk alongside patients on their journey toward healing and independence.
