My areas of expertise include adult spinal deformity, thoracolumbar and cervical spine disorders, spinal biomechanics, degenerative conditions, surgical decision-making, postoperative complications, and standards of care in spine surgery. I routinely analyze complex medical records, evaluate causation, and provide objective, evidence-based medical opinions. I am available for case review, medical consulting, record analysis, and written expert opinions. My focus is on providing clear, accurate, and medically sound assessments to assist attorneys in understanding complex spine-related issues.
