WHY I BECAME A SPINE SURGEON
My path to becoming a spine surgeon was fueled by a personal experience following a car accident that left my brother with multiple injuries, including spinal fractures and scoliosis. This profound event ignited my commitment to enhancing spine care so that patients could have a brighter future.
