My endeavor
My endeavor is to make my patients achieve their functional goals, what they need to do in life and what they want to do in life.
Care philosophy
Less is better. I believe exercise is the ultimate guide to health. Medicine and injections can relieve pain, but recovery comes through movement. I encourage patients to take an active role in healing and aim to treat conditions in the safest and most effective way possible.

My Doctor was prompt and courteous. He listened to me describe my issues. He suggested that I slowly stop taking a drug that I had been using. He said that it was not a long term solution. He ordered x-rays and said that he would make a recommendation after viewing the x-rays.
