Interests
My main interest is Spine Surgery, and at present, 90% of my work is focused on the spine. I have had extensive training in all aspects of spinal surgery. I deal with spinal trauma, spinal infections, spinal tumors, spinal deformities, and other adult degenerative conditions of the spine. I perform endoscopic and microscopic discectomies, deformity corrections, mini-open fixations, and other complex spinal fixations. I have performed a wide variety of anterior surgical procedures and carry out all spinal procedures independently, from the cervical spine to the sacrum. Additionally, I perform all types of scoliosis surgeries.
