About
I chose pain management because I wanted a specialty that allowed me to be hands-on with my patient care. It is extremely rewarding to help my patients “get moving” and live more mobile, happy lives.
I specialize in many different pain management techniques, both minimally-invasive and otherwise, including injections, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and spinal cord stimulation, along with other advanced techniques like Kyphoplasty, Interspinous Spacers and SI joint fusions. I work with my patients on an individualized treatment plan and lay out their options to help them make informed decisions about their own health.
My patients would say that I genuinely care, listen to their needs, and that I am eager to help them become more functional. I am committed to helping my patients manage their pain through a combination of treatments to deliver lasting results.
I believe a multimodal process of care is crucial when it comes to pain management. Shots and medication help manage pain, but rehabilitative techniques (yoga, meditation, walking) are also highly important in the management of pain. “Motion is lotion” is a motto I often use, meaning: The more you move your body, the more you get what you need to stay healthy and active.
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and spending time outside with my wife and kids, whether it be hiking, bicycling, playing tennis, or exploring with our dogs. I’m also a huge college sports fan.
