Summary

  • I have a busy private practice in Neurosurgery in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I have been active in the development of surgical implants and surgical instruments the past 15 years and I have lectured internationally the past five years on surgical techniques.

    My practice focus is primarily on disorders of the spine including herniated disks and injuries of both the back and neck. I also treat disorders of peripheral nerves such as carpal tunnel syndrome or ulnar neuropathy. I have also considerable steady experience with brain abnormalities such as brain tumors, brain trauma and traumatic and non traumatic hemorrhages. I am Board Certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery.
