Evidence-Based, Patient-First Care

My approach is simple: treat every patient as I would want my own family treated. That means honest conversations about all treatment options—including when surgery is not the best choice.

I believe in shared decision-making guided by the latest research evidence. My goal is to help you make the most informed choice for your spine health, whether that involves surgery, conservative management, or continued observation.
