My Specialty and Why I Chose It

I am an orthopaedic spine and scoliosis surgeon. That means I completed an orthopaedic surgery residency and subsequently completed a scoliosis and spine surgery fellowship. I decided to do this because the surgical treatment of spinal deformity and certain other spinal disorders is logical and can greatly improve someone's life.

My Practice Philosophy

Each patient is unique. Very few people need spine surgery but those that do can greatly benefit from it. I consider my selection of who can benefit from surgery to be the most critical moment of my clinic day.

My Credentials

Medical school	Medical College of Ohio, Toledo, OH
Internship	UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA
Residency	UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA
Fellowship	Hospital For Special Surgery, New York, NY
Board certification	Orthopedic Surgery, American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery

My Tenure with Kaiser Permanente

I joined the orthopaedic spine surgical team in the summer of 2006. I had been in private practice before joining my current team. Kaiser has allowed me to devote a greater portion of energy towards spine surgical treatments.

My Professional Interests and Affiliations

• Scoliosis Research Society Candidate
• American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

On a Personal Note

My large family has given me the foundation for my positive outlook and the energy I apply towards spine surgery. I am the youngest of five children and grew up in Ohio. I'm married to a wonderful wife and we have three sweet daughters. I have a dog, too.
