My commitment is simple: to treat people, not just conditions.

With over a decade of specialized experience in neurosurgery, including advanced spine surgery, minimally invasive techniques, neurotrauma, and brain and spinal tumors, I provide care that combines technical precision with deep compassion.
I believe excellent outcomes start with listening. I take the time to understand your concerns, values, and goals, so we can make decisions together. Whether you’re facing a complex diagnosis or seeking clarity on treatment options, you’ll be heard, respected, and supported.
Whenever possible, I prioritize non-surgical and conservative treatments. When surgery is necessary, I use the least invasive, most effective techniques to maximize your safety, comfort, and recovery. My approach is evidence-based, patient-focused, and tailored to your individual needs.
From your first visit through recovery and beyond, I remain an active partner in your journey. My goal is to relieve pain, restore function, and help you return to the life you love.
Compassion. Precision. Partnership. These are the hallmarks of the care I provide. Every patient deserves a first-class experience and that’s exactly what I strive to deliver.
