My Passion for Healthcare

My passion is the care of patients with pediatric and adult scoliosis, and complex spine problems. This includes fixing failed surgeries, flatback syndrome, previously operated scoliosis, as well as cord compression and other collapsing spine syndromes. I have pioneered the use of minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, the use of less invasive or single approach surgeries for complex adult scoliosis, and have extensive experience with spinal osteotomy surgery.
