Why are you so passionate about
spine surgery?
My passion began when I realized
that I could identify the source of
spinal pain by operating on patients under sedation. I was able to
improve or resolve the patient's
pain without major surgery, so I
dedicated myself to finding new
treatments. If a patient needs traditional surgery, we offer the full
spectrum from pain management,
to minimally invasive surgery (MIS),
to traditional open procedures for
both back and neck pain. We must
consider each patient individually
and give them the best options.
What if a patient is told they have
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome or they
are not a candidate for traditional
surgery, such as fusion?
These are probably the most complex consultations. There are MIS
methods that decompress and ablate the source of pain, rather than
traditional surgery. The answer is
dependent on the surgeon's expertise, experience, and training in
performing MIS procedures. We
explain it the best on our website,
backed up by unsolicited patient
testimonials and solid outcomes.

Patients with a positive surgical
outcome refer others, and many
people search the Internet to learn
about our team of surgeons. They
want access to the least invasive,
yet most effective treatments,
accurately finding the source of
their pain, then resolving it.
I was trained during the evolving
period of joint arthroscopy and
replacement. Fusion was a salvage
procedure. I felt that the endoscope
access to the spine could be just as
effective in treating spinal pain.
My mother was disabled by traditional spine surgery, so I was motivated to find a better solution for
her condition.
