About
Philosophy of care
My goal is to impart knowledge and review the available treatment options for patients suffering from spine-related pain. I believe that using shared-decision making empowers you to take control of your spine care. Compassion, professionalism and dedication drive my care and team collaboration.
Why I entered medicine
Being a physician has been a childhood dream come true. I’ve always wanted to have a positive and profound impact on others. My personal interests in health and wellness transformed into professional pursuits as I became a physician in a specialty that focuses on optimizing overall function and well-being.
Personal interests
I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, cooking/eating and traveling with family, friends and my beloved dogs.
