Virginia Spine Institute

"Spinal problems can usually be solved non-operatively if the physician listens to the patient, carefully examines the patient and then implements the proper treatment program. Sometimes, however, surgery is required. The surgeon who is skilled in a vast array of approaches is able to offer the patient the best choice. My experience and training provide the patient with multiple options, so that together, the patient and I can best select the most appropriate choice for his or her condition. "
