Brief Intro

Our group has recently closed our private practice on K Street and joined the Mercy Medical Group. We are pleased and excited to be part of the Dignity Health Neurosciences Program. Between the 5 of us we offer comprehensive Neurosurgical care for brain and spine conditions. My particular expertise and practice is primarily devoted to neurotrauma and surgery for cervical and lumbar spine problems, with expertise in cervical disc replacement and fusions, lumbar disc surgery, sciatica, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease with back pain, spondylolisthesis, and lumbar fusions. I have considerable expertise with minimally invasive technologies so that many of our cervical and lumbar spine surgery patients are able to go home the same day or the next morning after operation. For those with vertebral compression fractures we offer kyphoplasty, and for those with \"failed back syndrome\", comprehensive evaluation and treatment including spinal cord stimulation.
