CLINICAL CARE

Specialized care.
Individual needs.

I provide expert diagnosis, management, and surgical intervention for a wide array of neurological disorders.

Comprehensive Spinal Care

Decompression, pain relief, and spinal stabilization

Spinal Nerve Decompression & Pain Relief

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), laminectomies, microdiscectomies, and foraminotomies for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and pinched nerves. Imaging-guided vertebroplasty for pain control in chronic, non-healing compression fractures.

Spinal Stabilization

Spinal fusion techniques to address structural instability and severe degenerative disc disease.

Peripheral Nerve Care

Targeted decompression and pain relief

Carpal tunnel release surgery, ulnar nerve decompression, and peroneal nerve decompression.

Advanced Cranial & Structural Brain Surgery

Complex cranial surgery and neurological conditions

Complex Cranial Access

Craniotomies and craniectomies for tumor resections, trauma management, and pressure relief.

Neurological Conditions & Malformations

Surgical correction of Chiari malformations and ventricular shunt placements for hydrocephalus and normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Precision Diagnostics

Image-guided information for treatment planning

Image-guided stereotactic brain biopsies and diagnostic lumbar punctures for targeted treatment planning.
