SpineCare

I believe that every patient is unique and thus their treatment should be unique. I strive to perform the smallest, least-invasive treatment option that will address my patient's problem. This includes an understanding of who they are, what their goals are, and what their support system is. In this way, we can accomplish our common goal - making them better!
