Meet our Fellows
 Todd M Chatlos, M.D. (he/him)PGY-6, Epilepsy Fellow Todd Chatlos grew up in Herndon, VA in the suburbs of Washington, DC. He earned his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Virginia, where he stayed for two years after graduation to work in a neuroradiology lab studying traumatic brain injury and movements disorders. After that, he attended medical school at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine where fabulous mentors solidified his interest in the field of neurology and began exposing him to surgical treatment options for epilepsy, piquing an interest in the field. After graduating from medical school, Todd ventured across the country to complete his neurology residency at UC Davis. Although initially intimidating, the cross-country move proved to be more than worth it given UC Davis' supportive learning environment which allowed him to build strong foundations in all aspects of neurologic care while also further developing an interest in EEGs and the surgical treatments of epilepsy. Todd is continuing his training at UC Davis for a two-year combined Neurophysiology and Epilepsy fellowship where he hopes to research both basic science and public health topics relating to the field. |
 Maria Florendo, M.D. (she/her)PGY-5, Movement Disorders Fellow Dr. Florendo received her medical degree from Central Michigan University College of Medicine. She also received her Bachelor of Science degrees in biology (physiology and neuroscience) and cognitive science from University of California, San Diego. She is excited to be the movement disorders fellow as she has a special interest in developing disease modifying therapy for neurodegenerative diseases In her spare time, Maria enjoys crochet, Zumba, karaoke, and baking. |
 Nhayoung Hwang, M.D. (she/her)PGY-5, CNP-EEG Fellow Dr. Hwang joins us from San Jose, CA. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in molecular and cell biology with an immunology emphasis from University of California, Berkeley. She received her medical degree and completed her neurology residency training at the UC Davis School of Medicine. Nhayoung is thrilled to stay another year to complete her neurophysiology fellowship with an emphasis in EEG. In her spare time, Nhayoung enjoys hiking, reading, baking, and playing the piano. |
 George Savvides, M.D. (he/him)PGY-5, Epilepsy Fellow Dr. Savvides originally joined us from Kansas, receiving his medical degree from University of Kansas School of Medicine. He also received his Bachelor of Science degree in physics from University of Kansas. During his time in Kansas, he discovered his love of education through teaching Algebra 101. While in residency at UC Davis, he cultivated his love of teaching Neurology while working with medical students. After completing residency, George has stayed on as one of this year's Epilepsy fellows. He is specifically interested in the electricity of the brain and the education of trainees. In his spare time, George enjoys spending time with his wife and cat, as well as cultivating his interests in gardening and landscaping, fitness, cooking, woodworking, and exploring the outdoors. |
 Tanvir Khosla, M.D. (he/him)PGY-5, CNP-EMG Fellow Dr. Khosla grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. As an undergraduate, he attended Arizona State University, majoring in Biology. He found his passion for medicine through a difficult loss in his life, which motivated him to become a Neurologist. He attended medical school at St. George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada. During the second half of his medical education, he rotated in various hospitals throughout New York, where he spent his free time in Neurology clinics after rotations studying broad spectrums of neurological disorders from migraines to rare diseases. After graduating from medical school, joined the first graduating residency class at Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center, where he contributed to building the foundation of the program and mentoring residents, which quickly became another passion of his. Tanvir continued his training and matched at his top choice at UC Davis for fellowship in Neurophysiology with a goal to master electrophysiological testing and manage diverse neurological conditions. |
 Michael Saggio, D.O. (he/him)PGY-5, Vascular Neurology Fellow Dr. Saggio joins us from Milwaukee, WI and received his medical degree from Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine in Auburn, Alabama, and neurology residency at Larkin Community Hospital in South Miami, Florida. He also received his Bachelor of Science degree in biological sciences from The University of Alabama, Roll Tide. Michael is looking forward to both teaching and learning from residents and the highly knowledgeable, kind faculty while delving into the finer details of vascular neurology and the research behind it. In his spare time, Michael loves to be outside hiking, exploring, and learning more about this beautiful planet. He also enjoys basketball (Go Bucks!), football, nature & astrophotography, ecologic literature and traveling to even more glacier peaked mountains. |
