SpineCare
I believe that every patient is unique, and spine care should be customized to meet each individual’s specific needs. I am committed to patient education and take the time to ensure that every person I treat fully understands their condition and the full range of treatment options both surgical and non-surgical. I strongly believe in shared decision-making, and I empower my patients to be active participants in their care. My goal is always to offer the least-invasive, most effective treatment that helps patients return to their desired level of function and a higher quality of life. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my patients regain function and return to doing the things they love.
