Care Philosophy: As a neurosurgeon, I have dedicated my career to pursuing advanced training so I am exceptionally equipped to provide patients with spine and brain conditions with a clear understanding of their treatment options. I strive to provide an individualized, patient-centered approach to caring for my patients. When appropriate, I recommend a non-surgical approach, but if surgery is the better option to achieve the best outcome for the patient, I focus on clear communications to fully educate my patients so they understand my recommended treatment plan.
