The nervous system is complex, so are the wide range of diseases that affect it. I have focused my attention on understanding these diseases and learning the newest, most effective means to treat these truly disabling maladies. I have a particular interest in managing ailments that affect the spine not only because they are common, but also because we have come a long way in treating them in recent years. I would like to share this new knowledge and bring in the new technologies and techniques that have revolutionized our care of neurological disease.
