About Our Practice:
As a fellowship trained spine surgeon, I am dedicated to treating pain caused by degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, tumors and other diseases of the spine. I utilize advanced technologies, including the cervical artificial disc, minimally invasive fusion technologies, as well as annular repair devices to provide the best solutions for each of my patients. I work along side 6 nonsurgical spine specialists at CINN, and therefore only recommend surgery when appropriate conservative treatments have failed.
