PERSONALIZED SPINE CARE

I grew up in California and after going through college and medical school at Stanford University, neurosurgery residency training at University of Missouri, and fellowship training in complex spine surgery at University of Cincinnati, I was extremely privileged to join the Department of Neurosurgery at Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport.

 

My subspecialized clinical expertise focuses on spinal degenerative and traumatic diseases, adult scoliosis and deformities, spinal oncology, and complex primary and revision spinal procedures. My mission is to combine compassionate, patient-focused care with multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art, evidence-based medicine to provide you with insight and knowledge to make informed decisions. My goal is to help educate you and your family about the clinical presentation and natural history of your conditions, as well as treatment options, whether that be non-operative care or surgical management. I emphasize conservative care and recommend surgery only when indicated. If surgery is an option for you, I always elect for safe and more minimally invasive techniques, using image guided navigation and robotic technologies. I strive to be sincere in my advice, and I take the trust that you and your family place in me to heart.
