Summary
- I am a private orthopaedic and spine surgeon with extensive experience treating neuro-musculoskeletal conditions since 1990. While my primary focus over the past decade has been spine surgery, I am fellowship trained in both spine surgery and arthroscopy/sports medicine, and I continue to manage extremity issues, especially shoulder cases. My practice has become increasingly spine-centric and more information is available at www.alpineorthospine.com.
