I have developed from the ground up a patient focused and result driven practice. I started out as a nurse aide and went on to obtain my Bachelors Degree in Nursing. I completed a Master Degree in Biology and graduated from Indiana University School of Medicine. After completing 7 years of Neurosurgery residency, I went into practice and have been practicing Neurosurgery for 15 years. I underwent rigorous training at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio so I could become fully competent and equipped to handle whatever I encountered as a Neurosurgeon. I appreciate all aspects of the healthcare field, and I am a devout patient advocate. With my nursing background and working my way through multiple obstacles, I truly emphasize with others' struggles and their unique situation they bring to me. I admire the human spirit. I am fortunate to have built up practice to where we have a total of six Neurosurgeons in the group and we continue to seek further growth to service the San Antonio area.Specialties: Neurological Surgery, with training in all aspects of brain and spine surgery. I have special interest in minimally invasive spine surgery, kyphoplasty, artificial disc replacement, spinal cord stimulation, endoscopic brain surgery, brain and spine tumor surgery, and complex spine surgery.
