The reviews listed below were collected independently of Swift Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
I don’t know. I hate giving such a low rating. My frustration and dissatisfaction comes from the nature of how the visit was set up. My issues went beyond spinal but they are interrelated. One must guess and choose at the time of appointment—knee? Spine? Hip? What if it involves all of these? How to choose? In the end, this provider didn’t see his specialty in me so it was a bit of a shrug. No recommendations. No consultation with his many colleagues. Just sort of “maybe we watch and wait and it’ll get better”. Sigh.

He believes spinal surgery is incredibly complex from both a clinical and technical standpoint. Proper patient selection and choice of procedure can be every bit, if not more challenging, than the surgery itself. Because every patient is different, determining who can actually benefit from the vast array of available procedures embodies the art of medicine. He takes a conservative approach and have a particular interest in utilizing minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures and motion-preserving techniques in patients who have exhausted non-operative treatments. His free time is largely spent with his wife, three children, and two dogs. He enjoys playing basketball, golf, and snowboarding.
