Biography
I became a neurological surgeon in order to solve complex challenges and help people achieve a higher quality of life. In my role at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in treating spinal disorders and injuries.
My approach is to start with nonoperative or minimally invasive options whenever possible, but I also have extensive expertise performing both minimally invasive and traditional reconstructive spine surgery. My training further included a Spine Fellowship in Orthopedics, which enables me to help patients manage complex spinal deformities and those who have previously had spine surgery.
Patients can trust that I will take the time to ensure they understand their condition and all treatment options. I work with each person to develop a personalized care plan that works best for them.
