Dr. Oliveira then attended Brown University, where she gained valuable experience through a Neurological residency and Neurophysiology fellowship at Rhode Island Hospital. She is board certified in Neurology.
With a strong passion for this field, Dr. Oliveira has clinical interests in General Neurology, Neurophysiology, Epilepsy, Neuromuscular disorders (nerve and muscle disorders), headaches, EEG, and EMG.

She strives to constantly reevaluate her practice and provide her patients with the most up to date care while taking into account their specific needs. She wants to create a partnership with her patients that allows them to work together to create individualized care plans.
