Description

I believe that each patient's care needs to be individualized for that patient. Everyone responds differently to various treatments and I believe that a nuanced discussion of all non-surgical and surgical options with the patient is essential for a good outcome. Seeing a physician for spine care can be a very stressful time, and I work hard to make myself available to patients and provide answers to whatever questions they may have about their care.
