Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

I have had 3 spine surgeries. I *get* your pain. I can truly empathize with my patients and this helps guide a comprehensive treatment plan.

I grew up in Albuquerque and did most of my medical training in Philadelphia, PA.  In 2016, I returned to New Mexico with my beautiful wife to raise our 3 young children in the Land of Enchantment.  I am forever grateful to be back to serve the people of New Mexico.
