Summary

I have been in private practice as a spinal surgeon in Johnson City since 1994. I stress non-operative treatment for the majority of spinal conditions. When surgery is indicated, my preference is to use less invasive techniques. I was the first spinal surgeon in the area to perform outpatient lumbar microdiscectomies, and I am the only physcian in the Tri-Cites performing outpatient lumbar and cervical discetomies in a free-standing surgical center. I perfom 150-175 outpatient spinal procedures a year at The Mountain Empire Surgery Center.
