Research
My research focuses on quality improvement following spinal surgery, using big data and meta-analysis to provide answers to the questions that will improve our patient’s outcome.
Other Interests
Outside of medicine my major interests include playing basketball, reading , and mentoring.
Future Plans
I’m interested in pursuing a surgical specialty, in particular orthopedics. I intend to weave research with my clinical practice, through the vehicle of research I want to drive the knowledge base that will influence the way we practice medicine.
