Information
Mon-Fri
My practice is dedicated to treatment of the adult and pediatric spine. I believe in individual and compassionate spine care and following patients carefully through their recovery. Spinal disorders treated range from degenerative disc disease, disc herniations and back pain through complex deformities of the spine including spondylolisthesis and scoliosis. I treat the majority of patients without surgery. When surgery is required innovative techniques and state of the art equipment is utilized to minimize recovery time and improve long-term results.
My goal is simple, to relieve pain associated with spinal problems and to improve appearance, self-esteem, mobility and quality of life.
