Care Philosophy
I am committed to providing individualized, evidence-based spine care that combines advanced surgical expertise with judicious, patient-specific decision-making. I operate when surgery offers clear benefit and always in partnership with my patients and their goals. As a dedicated member of the South Denver community, I am invested not just in treating spines, but in the long-term wellbeing of my neighbors.
Clinical Interest for Patients
My clinical neurosurgical interests span the full spectrum of spine surgery, from complex deformity correction to minimally invasive techniques. Specifically, I perform endoscopic decompressions (if appropriate), motion-preserving surgeries including disc replacements, and fusion surgeries.
