"As a physiatrist, I take care of patients with various neurologic and musculoskeletal problems involving the spine. My mission is to reduce pain and help my patients get back to an active, healthy lifestyle without surgery.
Having had chronic back pain which necessitated surgery myself, I know firsthand how an injury can interfere with restful sleep, mood, and quality of life. I also know how important it is to feel supported throughout the treatment and recovery process. This is why I feel so strongly about providing care that is patient-centered, thoughtful, and compassionate.
Seeking medical care can sometimes feel stressful or nerve-wracking, but it doesn’t have to be this way. I believe that using accessible and inclusive language is a critical first step to improving patient understanding and satisfaction."
