I believe spine care should be personal. Each person has different goals, symptoms, and needs. Imaging helps tell part of the story, but it does not tell everything. Many spine changes are part of aging and may not need surgery. Sometimes, reassurance and a clear plan are the best first steps.

When surgery is the right choice, I focus on the least invasive option that can help. My goal is to make recovery as smooth as possible and help people return to daily life and activities. I also talk openly about what surgery can and cannot improve. Clear expectations are an important part of good patient care.

The most rewarding part of my work is seeing people feel better, move more, and enjoy life with less pain. I feel grateful to help guide patient progress with care that is honest, thoughtful, and centered on what matters most to each person.
