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.
