Clinical Interests:
Spine Care: Operative and Non-Operative treatment of disorders of the spine
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Philosophy of Care:
My philosophy of care is first and foremost to educate and inform my patients about their condition. Understanding their spine conditions empowers patients to better manage and overcome their ailment. I treat disorders of the spine on a continuum starting with nonoperative modalities first and resorting to surgery only after exhausting other modalities. This treatment philosophy and my sub-specialty training allows my patients to achieve an optimal outcome.
Reason for Choosing This Field of Medicine:
Because I am very active, I value maintaining physical function so I gravitated toward Orthopedic Surgery. I truly enjoy functional restoration.
