"Patient safety and well-being are my top priorities. Brain and spine conditions can be stressful and confusing for patients and their loved ones. My goal is to provide information and guidance so that patients feel confident in making decisions. I am a neurosurgeon who believes that, in most cases, surgery should be reserved as a last resort should all other non-operative measures prove ineffective. I take pride in listening to my patients and in being thorough. I believe that what patients say and show can be more meaningful than any lab result or imaging study. The practice of neurosurgery is both a science and an art and so I take everything into consideration. I simply want the best possible outcome for my patients, and to that end, I will always treat them as if they were my own family."
