Summary

I am a fellowship-trained interventional pain management physician. My specialty training is in physical medicine and rehabilitation, also known as physiatry. I served as chief resident at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. I relocated to the Bay area to do an interventional pain management fellowship in Berkeley, California.

Some of the procedures I perform include cervical and lumbar epidural injections, facet blocks, radiofrequency, discography, sympathetic nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulation. My approach to pain management is conservative and multidisciplinary, with an emphasis on treating the patient as a whole individual.
