About Me

I am an anesthesiologist specializing in pain management at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I see patients for conditions including back pain, spinal fractures and diseases, isolated joint pain, nerve injury, extremity pain, painful neuropathy, cancer pain and failed back surgery syndrome.

My patients can expect an evidence-based approach tailored to their specific needs. I incorporate emerging approaches and well-tested methods to improve each patient’s quality of life and ease their pain. I also strongly believe in a multidisciplinary approach to patient-centered care and so I involve patients, their families and their other health care providers in treatment decisions.

My research interests include nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, vertebral augmentation and clinical research methodology and epidemiology. I have authored more than 130 peer-reviewed publications in leading journals in the field and have presented my work nationally and internationally.

I help educate the next generation of providers in my role as an assistant clinical professor of Anesthesiology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and as the associate residency program director for Anesthesiology.

I have been honored with recognition for my contributions in clinical care and education. I am a top-searched anesthesiologist per Doximity Rankings, and within the Ohio State College of Medicine, I was named Clinical Educator of the Year for the Department of Anesthesiology in 2024.
