About Me
care philosophy
I spent a lot of time in eastern North Carolina during my time in the military and grew to love the area.biography
I spent a lot of time in eastern North Carolina during my time in the military and grew to love the area. As a provider, my goal is to give sound advice on the treatment of spine disorders which may include surgery. I particularly enjoy working with patients to help them overcome spinal fractures and spinal cord injury.Neurosurgery
