I believe in a patient-centered holistic approach, exhausting non surgical management of spinal conditions. I practice evidenced based treatment, utilizing both conventional and minimally invasive techniques with the state of the art surgical technology, should surgery be required.

Success with any treatment modality goes beyond the treatment itself. I strongly believe in understanding a patient’s problem in context with their lifestyle, circumstances, and perspectives. I have made an irrevocable commitment in my practice to treat every patient as my own kith and kin by making collaborative and informed decisions to achieve the best outcomes. Spinal surgery is more than technical excellence, and there is no better specialty than spine to apply the famous saying: “good surgeons know how to operate, better ones when to operate, and the best when not to operate.” I have always lived with that motto to do what is best for my patients. That is my commitment and my promise.
