About the Doctor
Practical, evidence-based pain care — treating the whole person, not just the pain.
I prioritize what works — not what’s trendy.
I am double board certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine by the American Board of Anesthesiology, with a focus on practical, evidence-based therapies. My approach combines sensible treatment plans with modern interventional techniques, matched carefully to each patient’s diagnosis and goals.
I develop thoughtful, stepwise care strategies tailored to each individual — from conservative options like lifestyle modification and medication management to advanced procedures, including targeted injections and minimally invasive surgeries.
Every plan begins with careful diagnosis and honest conversation about what the evidence supports, so patients understand not just what we’re doing, but why.
