About

I am a cognitive neurologist specializing in memory disorders, cognitive decline, brain fog, attention difficulties and brain health optimization. I head the Neurocognitive Rehabilitation Unit at Shamir Medical Center and am involved in clinical research on cognitive decline and advanced neurorehabilitation. In my private practice, I integrate conventional neurology with functional and systems-based medicine. My assessment looks beyond the neurological symptoms to identify potentially modifiable contributors, including sleep, metabolic health, inflammation, hormonal balance, nutritional deficiencies, chronic infections, environmental exposures and lifestyle. I have trained in functional medicine and the Bredesen approach to cognitive decline, and I provide individualized, evidence-informed assessment and treatment plans for patients seeking to improve cognitive function, address complex neurological symptoms or reduce their future risk of cognitive deterioration.
