Clinical Interest for Patients
My clinical interests include non-operative spine and musculoskeletal medicine.
Care Philosophy
I aspire to get to know each of my patients and work with them to help them reach their functional goals by using a comprehensive care model. I use a multidisciplinary approach including working with my colleagues in physical therapy, imaging, as well as ultrasound and fluoroscopic guided interventions to help my patients get back to the activities that bring them joy.

Clinical Interests for Referring Providers
I am especially interested in comprehensive non-operative spine care and musculoskeletal medicine including hip/spine and shoulder/spine syndromes. I am able to use EMG as well as diagnostic and therapeutic interventional techniques to help with diagnosis and treatment of spine and musculoskeletal dysfunction.
