Idea of Care

I take the time to help patients understand their condition and feel confident about their treatment options. I’ve undergone spine surgery myself and understand the patient experience from both sides of the exam room. I work hard to provide the same guidance, compassion and care that I would want for my own family.

My goal is to provide the right treatment at the right time, whether that means avoiding surgery or using advanced surgical techniques to help patients regain function and improve their quality of life.
