Spine surgery is an art. I treat it like one.
The patient experience is the most important part of spine and neurosurgical work. Through open communication and the use of technology for education, my patients understand their bodies better and become empowered in their own decision-making — with the physician as a partner in care. Together, we custom tailor a plan to achieve their long-term goals.
I'm a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in minimally invasive spine surgery and complex spinal deformity conditions. My scope of service includes minimally invasive surgery for degenerative conditions, complex spine surgery for scoliosis in adults and adolescents, spinal fusion, spine trauma and tumor surgery, spinal cord stimulation, kyphoplasty, sacroiliac joint surgery, and general and traumatic cranial neurosurgery.
I trained at some of the country's top programs, culminating in a Complex Spine Surgery Fellowship at the renowned UCLA Spine Center — where I also served as a Clinical Instructor of Neurological Surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine. Every patient I see benefits from that depth of training applied to their unique anatomy and condition.
The art behind
every operation.
These aren't slogans. They are the principles that make bespoke spine surgery possible — and the reason my patients get outcomes designed specifically for them.
-
01
Understand Before Designing
Your story matters more than your MRI. I spend time understanding your symptoms, your limitations, and what "getting better" actually means to you — before I ever sketch a surgical plan.
-
02
Exhaust Every Alternative
Physical therapy, injections, time — I explore every reasonable non-surgical option first. If you end up in my operating room, it's because nothing else will give you the result you deserve.
-
03
Design With Precision
No two operations are the same in my OR. I tailor the approach, the instrumentation, and the technique to your specific anatomy — because millimeters matter.

04
See It Through
Surgery is not the finish line — it's the beginning of your recovery. I follow my patients closely to ensure every milestone is met and every question is answered.
