Very sympathetic and understanding. He listen to what I had to say and responded with explanations I could understand. Willing to help me with the insurance company too. Referring me to an injection doctor as a first step in hope it works for me.

About Me

Care Philosophy
  • Experiencing significant spine pain and dysfunction can be a very difficult process. My goal is to educate and guide a patient through the challenging process. Recommendations are based on the best available scientific studies. Frequently many problems are best treated non operatively. For other conditions surgery can be safe and effective. When surgery is considered we strive to achieve predictable results through the least invasive process.
