Care Philosophy:
I believe the needs of the patient always come first. My practice blends compassionate care with a targeted, interventional approach to pain management. I use evidence-based procedures and personalized treatment plans to restore function and improve your quality of life.
In addition to diagnosing and treating acute and chronic pain conditions, I also practice as an anesthesiologist in the operating room. My OR experience enhances my procedural skills and deepens my understanding of perioperative pain management. I am dedicated to integrating functional rehabilitation and behavioral strategies to support comprehensive, patient-centered care.
Personal Statement:
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying physically active through sports/workouts and exploring both the local area and new destinations through travel and outdoor activities.
