I have had the privilege of providing neurosurgical care at Duke Health since 1995 with the majority of that time focused on cervical spine disorders. By involving my patients in their own care through careful histories, examinations, and a thorough review of imaging studies, we are able to use that process to plan on whether conservative care or possible surgery will relieve their pain and get them back to living at their best. I have performed over 6,500 cervical spine procedures and perform approximately 350 cervical spine surgeries per year, focusing on great outcomes and short stays. 98% of patients are in the hospital less than 24 hours after surgery. I have been recognized as the top cervical spine surgeon in the country by MPIRICA Health Inc. based on my outcomes. According to ProPublica, I have the lowest complication rate in North Carolina. I hope through my extensive clinical experience to provide excellent diagnostics and, through an outstanding team, provide the very best surgical results. My belief is that by combining the technical and spiritual sides to my practice, patients have the very best outcomes and together we accomplish amazing results for them.

My desire to become a doctor and then a neurosurgeon stemmed from a love for science and technology in my childhood, as well as a passion for community service and helping others in need. While in college and medical school, I observed several brain and spine surgeries and was awed by the technical skill and precision required to perform such intricate procedures. I also enjoy contributing to the advancement of the field through innovation in surgical techniques and technology.  There is truly no better feeling in the world than seeing one of your patients have a successful outcome and knowing that you contributed to their success.My special clinical interests include: Minimally-invasive spine surgery, degenerative spinal conditions, revision spine surgery and spinal deformity surgery, spinal tumors, primary brain tumors, metastatic tumors to the brain and spine, meningiomas and benign skull base tumors, aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations.In my free time I enjoy rock climbing, mountaineering, hiking and international travel.I strongly believe that a neurosurgeon's ultimate responsibility is to ensure the safety of the patients under his care. In my opinion, this is best achieved with strict attention to detail and adherence to community standards of care. I also believe in open and honest communication between the doctor and the patient. Oftentimes, especially in the field of neurosurgery, there are many different potential treatments or surgeries for a given condition. I therefore think it is essential to incorporate the patient's desires into any treatment or surgical plan, especially after a thorough discussion outlining all of the treatment options. My patients are my top priority, and I take pride in doing everything possible to ensure they have a successful outcome while under my care.
