Overview

I am a neurosurgery physician assistant specializing in spine surgery. I was inspired to become a physician assistant while on a medical mission trip to Uganda. I treat patients various spine problems but focus on patients with degenerative spine disorders, spine traumas, and spinal deformities. My reason for coming to work, my purpose, is to help patients regain their quality of life. I enjoy spending time with my dog, cycling and practicing yoga.
