Brief Intro

I offer comprehensive evaluation of spinal problems for the very young through the very old. I only suggest surgery when other measures have failed. I treat scoliosis in children and adults. I offer minimally invasive surgery when appropriate. I can discuss the latest technology with you, be it artificial discs or others. I will tell you where the state of the art is and whether or not it is appropriate for you. I do kyphoplasty for compression fractures. I have significant experience in treating cancer of the spinal column. I have cared for many spinal fractures over the years. I have the advantage of working at a center with state of the art intra-operative CT scanner and image guidance technology. Our center has comprehensive capabilities with regular collaboration between all specialties caring for the spine.
