Welcome to Ask Dr. Bill Z forum. I am a Child and Adult Neurologist practicing in Santa Cruz, CA. I also perform minor procedures for facial aesthetics. I became interested in going to medical school after my son was diagnosed with Autism. During under graduate studies, I fell in love with research and then completed both my MD and PhD in Neuroscience at Penn State College of Medicine. I was introduced to rare metabolic disease affecting the brain in the local Amish and Mennonite communities of Southwestern PA. Children affected with these disorders can present with Autism and autistic like features. I was able to find new potential treatments for these disorders at least in mouse models with dietary supplements. I now practice in Santa Cruz, CA and continue to collaborate widely for research efforts in Neurology, brain metabolism and Cancer. I look forward to sharing experience and answering any questions on the subject of Neurology, Medicine, Autism, Seizures, Tics, Tremors, as well as normal development, Cancer, neurometabolic disease, facial aesthetics and more.
