Career Interests

General Neurosurgery with an emphasis on sacroiliac dysfunction, motion preservation spine surgery, spinal robotics, minimally invasive spinal decompression, spine and cranial trauma.

Personal Statement

My team and I believe in a personalized approach to patient care. While most of the patients that come through our clinic are able to be treated with non-surgical management, when necessary, we take time to make sure that history, imaging, and diagnostic studies match up to ensure the best outcomes from surgical intervention.
