About Our Practice:
My practice focuses on the treatment of both primary and metastatic spine tumors using the most advanced surgical techniques and approaches. I have been specialty trained in this area with numerous publications on this topic, and work closely with a host of medical and radiation oncologist.
In addition, I have a strong interest in the treatment of cervical spine trauma and have been involved in several research endeavors in this area.
Finally, my partners and I handle simple and complex degenerative spine disorders ranging from simple herniated discs to complex decompressive procedures for patients who have received relief following prior surgical treatments. Our practice handles a large volume of patients with these disorders and therefore we are kept abreast of the latest technological advances in this field.
