My approach to treating patients

My philosophy towards patient care emphasizes aggressively exploring non-operative approaches where possible, and in the event that surgery is needed, I utilize the latest techniques in spine surgery to minimize patient-discomfort and post-surgical trauma.

In my experience, non-operative techniques can benefit many patients especially those suffering from problems related to the Cervical (neck) and Lumbar (lower back) spine. I have advanced training in Motion Preservation techniques that allow many patients to have significant resolution of their symptoms without having to undergo a spinal fusion. In addition, I have extensive training in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. This type of surgery can be done on an outpatient basis because it causes minimal soft tissue trauma. As a result, the patients tend to have smaller incisions and have much less post operative discomfort.

My approach towards patient care is complimented by our state of the art infrastructure that includes a new and spacious facility, with fully equipped X-ray suites, and a full-service Rehabilitation center for pre- and post-operative therapy. Our practice takes pride in delivering the highest quality of patient care in a warm and friendly environment.
