I chose medicine because I’ve always been drawn to helping people move, function, and feel like themselves again. Pain affects every part of life, and I wanted to build a career focused on restoring comfort and independence.

My approach is simple: I listen closely, explain things clearly, and work with each patient to find the least invasive, most effective plan. Many people ask whether their pain has real solutions — and my answer is yes. There is almost always a path forward, and we’ll find it together.

I enjoy caring for patients because seeing someone regain hope, mobility, and confidence is incredibly meaningful. It’s a privilege to be part of that journey.
