My name is Himanshu Suri and I’m currently the chief resident in neurology at Georgetown University Hospital. I was born in India but thanks to my parents, I moved here at the age of 11 with my family for better opportunities and a better life. I grew up in South Florida and did all of my schooling there including medical school at Florida International University in Miami. Looking for a change in scenery, I decided to pursue my residency in Neurology in Washington, DC. It's been a wonderful decision, as not only have I made the friendships here that will last a lifetime, but I also met my fiancée and we plan to get married in the fall of 2020. I have always been interested in management of patients’ pain and doing headache medicine gives me the opportunity to do just that. I’m extremely excited to be working as a fellow with the Georgetown University Hospital headache team with some of the world’s best physicians in the field. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, weight-lifting, playing and watching sports, hiking, and traveling
