Studied medicine at Tel Aviv University [1988] and then qualified in ‘Chinese Medicine’ in Sri-Lanka, and dealt mainly in drug withdrawal and pain treatment. After specialization in Neurology at Tel Aviv Medical Center [1996], completed a fellowship in Neurology and Headache at the Mayo Clinic, USA [1997]. Worked at the Tel Aviv Medical Center in the Department of Neurology and Pain Clinic, and since 2002 worked as the Deputy Chief of the Department of Neurology, and later as the Deputy Chief of the Section of Neurology.
