My approach is patient-specific, with each treatment plan tailored to individual goals and timelines. I utilize cutting-edge treatments and surgical techniques based on the best available evidence, whether through non-surgical approaches such as medication, functional rehabilitation or injection therapy, or when necessary, surgical intervention.
