Practice philosophy: Patient and family centered care. That means treat the patient, not an image. Surgery is sometimes the answer, but sometimes there are better choices. As a surgeon it is my job to inform you, provide you with reasonable choices, and help guide you through the decision-making process. There are no questions that patients shouldn't ask.
Favorite health tip: When it comes to spine health, there's no substitute for core strength and not smoking.
