Research Interests
I have studied cervical radiculopathy/myelopathy, sagittal balance/deformity, and optimizing biologics in spine fusion patients. I have participated in more than 10 clinical and FDA research trials with the goal of evaluating spine surgery techniques and procedures. I have a special interest in studying platelet rich plasma (PRP) and the effects of marijuana on pain control in spine fusion surgeries. Participating in research has allowed me to stay on the cutting edge of spine innovations and techniques.
