About Me
I joined the Spine Program at the Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Center as an orthopedic surgeon in 1992. I serve as medical director at the Spine Institute of New England and as an associate professor in the Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation at UVM Larner College of Medicine.
My specialty is in treating patients with idiopathic and degenerative scoliosis, spinal stenosis, cervical myelopathy, degenerative disease and spinal tumors. Treatment options include spinal decompression, fusion and instrumentation.
I believe that every patient's condition is unique, and it is my role to act as a guide to help patients select the best treatment options for their lifestyles.
I am actively involved in laboratory and clinical research, with a focus on the mechanobiology of degenerative disease.
