His expertise also extends to neurophysiology, with advanced training in EEG and EMG. Guided by the belief that effective care requires both science and compassion, Dr. Li emphasizes a comprehensive, individualized treatment approach—combining cutting-edge interventions with patient education, medical management, and rehabilitation strategies.
