Patient/Provider Philosophy I strive to provide the right treatment options for each individual patient. Regardless of the simplicity or complexity of your clinical presentation, I will treat you with compassionate diligence in order to develop a patient-centered personalized care plan. By aligning your particular goals with evidence-based, outcome-driven medicine, we will develop a unique plan to reduce your pain and improve your function in order to focus on living your life, rather than managing your condition. Fortunately, most neck and back-related problems can be resolved with non-surgical care. Should you require surgery, I am trained in both traditional open techniques and modern minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of various spine conditions.
