About

Experience, trust and a personalized approach

With many years of experience in brain, nerve and spine surgery, I use both microsurgical techniques and interventional pain management techniques to treat spinal conditions. By listening to each patient's symptoms and learning about their lifestyle, I develop an evidence-based treatment plan that avoids unnecessary surgery.

For conditions such as lumbar and cervical disc herniation, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and sciatica, I first consider non-surgical methods (epidural injections, nucleoplasty and radiofrequency treatment). When necessary, I use minimally invasive (endoscopic) and microsurgical operations, aiming to help my patients return to everyday life as soon as possible.

My Treatment Approach

By your side throughout your treatment

Not just surgery — the right diagnosis, the right timing and accurate information.

Non-Surgical First

Surgery is the last resort. Whenever suitable, protective and pain-free methods are evaluated first.

Personalized Planning

Every spine is different. Treatment is planned around your complaints, age and lifestyle.

Modern Technology

Safer operations with surgical microscopes, neuromonitoring and minimally invasive techniques.

Transparent Information

I explain your diagnosis, options and risks clearly, in language you can understand.
