Care Philosophy: We understand that "navigating through the spine industry" can be extremely challenging. For most of our patients, not knowing what questions to ask, or not knowing what should matter, can be quite frustrating in this important decision. Factors such as surgeon experience, surgical approach, size of the incision, average time under anesthesia, recovery times, and overall outcomes are vital and important factors to you as the patient. At the BioSpine Institute, we feel that knowing your surgeon and being confident in his credentials are extremely important.

Care Philosophy: I put myself in my patients position and feel their pain when they describe their condition, thats how I was able to listen and care about them. I strongly beleive in that......I AM ANSWERABLE TO GOD IN WHATEVER I DO...,.
