I want to thank you for allowing me to participate in the care of you and your loved ones. As your spine surgeon, I will work to gain your trust as I provide your spine care. Having spent significant time learning the latest surgical and non-surgical spine techniques, I will partner with you to find a solution that best fits your overall goals. I’m hopeful that early recognition, appropriate education, and an open discussion between us will lead to a meaningful outcome. While surgery is often not the first answer to clinical improvement, when indicated, it can be life changing. From both a clinical and academic viewpoint, I have particular interest in minimal invasive spine surgery as well as complex spine surgery, which includes revision, deformity, and scoliosis. It is incredibly important that we understand how your spine condition affects you and your family. With you at the center of our attention, my team and I will adapt a focused treatment plan that will help you resume an active lifestyle.
