UNC Hospitals Neurosurgery

I have had extensive training in treating spinal conditions leading to back and neck pain, numbness and weakness including herniated disks, lumbar stenosis, sciatica, spine tumors, spinal deformity and scoliosis. I employ advanced techniques in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, including minimally invasive decompression and fusion, robotic spine surgery, and artificial disk replacement. I was also one of the few neurosurgeons in the country who specializes in the treatment of complex peripheral nerve disorders leading to extremity pain and weakness, including carpal tunnel, ulnar nerve compression, sciatic nerve compression, peripheral nerve tumors, thoracic outlet syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, brachial plexus injury and peripheral nerve injury, and nerve transfers for restoring limb function. I use techniques such as intraoperative ultrasound, electrical stimulation and endoscopy to treat patients.
