I have spent over 20 years working closely with physiatrists in rehabiliting patients with spinal problems. Often surgery can be completely avoided with a comprehensive structured rehabilitation approach. If surgery is required then rehab can maximize the benefit of the surgery. I have over 20 years of experience with very complex revision surgery in all areas of the spine. I do a lot of spinal deformity surgery in adolescents and adults. I am developing a classification system to improve the selection of surgery for a given clinical situation. I am also active in developing clinical research in order to improve our clinical decision making.
Personal InterestsIn the process of working with my patients who have chronic pain, I have discovered that stress is a significant factor which aggravates pain. I have been active in developing stress management strategies to present both in and out of my practice. My hobbies include snow skiing, golf, weight training, bird watching, and attempting to learn Italian.
