I am a fellowship-trained, double board-certified interventional pain medicine sub-specialist focusing on neck pain, back pain and spine pathology. At clinic visits, I spend time educating my patients on their specific pathology and reviewing all appropriate treatment options from conservative therapy to the most advanced minimally invasive techniques. I practice a medication-sparing approach for my patients through a comprehensive care plan including interventions coupled with physical therapy, home exercises, chiropractic care and surgical consultation when necessary. This allows my patients to avoid or limit worrisome medication side effects such as sleepiness, GI distress, slowed breathing, hormone effects and many more. My ultimate focus is on improving patient functionality allowing them to continue to participate in activities they enjoy with friends and family. To facilitate this goal, I am dedicated to continuing education allowing me to provide my patients with the latest in safe, proven procedures and technologies.Born and raised in Indianapolis, I am proud to help Hoosiers have a spine that works. I am seeing patients at our new Carmel, Kokomo and Fishers offices.
