Dr. Mike started to be passionate about helping those with neurological disorders when as student he was the first assist on numerous cases with a world-renown doctor, Dr. Frederick Carrick. His fist case working with Dr. Carrick was one where a young girl suffered from severe postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) symptoms causing upwards of 60 seizures each day. It was known that if she did not receive proper help, she would most likely not make it to her next birthday. After two weeks the young girl was able to stand up and walk without seizing, and now lives a happy and healthy teenage life. At this point he knew he would dedicate the rest of his life to this field. He had the blessing of learning directly under Dr. Carrick and many other great mentors for several years before moving to Illinois and starting at the NWI.
