Care Philosophy
"I understand that surgery, especially spine surgery, is a major life event and can be intimidating for many patients. My goal is to make patients as comfortable as possible in the shared decision-making process by providing ample education, support, non-operative alternatives to care, availability to address their concerns, and compassion for their individual problems."
