Fellowship-Trained Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeon in Indiana

Opening August 2026. Patients throughout Indiana will have access to advanced robotic, endoscopic, and motion-preserving spine surgery techniques.

Surgical Philosophy

"Least invasive that truly solves the problem. Preserve motion whenever appropriate."

This philosophy guides every treatment decision, ensuring patients receive the most effective care with minimal disruption to their lives.

Advanced Techniques

Robotic Navigation

Precision screw placement with advanced robotic guidance systems for enhanced accuracy.

Endoscopic Decompression

Minimally invasive procedures through incisions smaller than a dime.

Minimally Invasive Fusion

Advanced fusion techniques with reduced tissue disruption and faster recovery.

Cervical Disc Replacement

Motion-preserving alternatives to traditional fusion for appropriate candidates.

Why Motion Preservation Matters

Traditional spinal fusion eliminates motion at the treated level, which can increase stress on adjacent segments. Motion-preserving techniques, when appropriate, maintain natural spinal mechanics and may reduce the risk of adjacent segment disease.

Benefits of Motion Preservation:

  • Maintains natural spinal movement patterns
  • Reduces stress on adjacent spinal segments
  • Faster return to normal activities
  • Lower risk of adjacent segment degeneration

When to Consider a Surgical Evaluation

Conservative Care Has Been Tried

  • 6-12 weeks of appropriate conservative treatment
  • Physical therapy, medications, injections
  • Persistent or worsening symptoms

Red Flag Symptoms

  • Progressive neurological deficits
  • Bowel or bladder dysfunction
  • Severe weakness or numbness

Quality of Life Impact

Surgery may be considered when spine conditions significantly impact daily activities, work performance, or overall quality of life, despite appropriate conservative treatment.

Each case is evaluated individually, considering the patient's specific condition, symptoms, imaging findings, and personal goals.
