My practice specializes in treating any conditions related to disorders of the neck, midback, and low back. These include but are not limited to degenerative discs, herniated discs including sciatica, spinal stenosis, infection, osteoporosis, trauma, work-related injuries, car accidents, soft-tissue injuries, tumors, and other degenerative spinal conditions, such as arthritis. Treatments include microdiscectomy to the neck and low back, laminectomy, spinal fusion, kyphoplasty, and others.

My practice also specializes in treating any conditions related to general orthopedic surgery. These include but are not limited to disorders affecting the shoulder and arm, elbow and forearm, wrist and hand, hip and thigh, knee and leg, ankle and foot. These can be non-work-related injuries, such as sports injuries or accidents, or work-related injuries. Treatments include arthroscopy, joint replacement, ligament reconstruction, and more.

Conservative management is emphasized. When surgery is needed, the latest and least invasive technique is used whenever possible.
