Biography
As an orthopedic spine surgeon, I am passionate about helping to relieve patients’ back pain and improve their quality of life. I specialize in treating age-related spinal changes and disorders that affect the neck and lower back. When patients come to see me, they can trust that I will care for them like family, work with them to find a nonoperative solution for their condition and recommend surgery only if necessary.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center fosters a team environment where everyone shares a common goal of improving patient care and it’s a privilege to be part of it. The collegiality between the faculty is unparalleled. I believe the commitment to collaboration makes us all better surgeons and enhances the care we provide to our patients.
The accessibility of mentors at The Ohio State University is also exceptional. It’s an honor to help train residents and medical students, and I believe the opportunity to share my personal experiences can help them become better physicians and surgeons. I also serve as an assistant professor at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
My role includes active research efforts aimed at advancing clinical care. For example, I helped develop a protocol to reduce radiation exposure in children who had suspected cervical spine trauma. My team and I presented our findings before the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
When I’m not working, my wife and I enjoy playing tennis and try to get on the courts at least once per week. We enjoy cooking and trying new restaurants around the city. We also like hiking and exploring state and national parks.
