Your first neurosurgical consultation is designed to give you clarity and confidence. Here’s what you can expect:

We’ll start by reviewing your medical history and symptoms, followed by a physical exam to assess your condition. If you’ve had prior imaging, such as X-rays or MRIs, we’ll go over those results in detail. If additional imaging is needed, we will order the appropriate tests to ensure we have a clear and accurate diagnosis. Finally, we’ll discuss your personalized treatment options, ensuring you understand every step.

Every question you have is important—our team is here to guide you. Let’s find the best path forward together.

For me, sports medicine started as part of neurosurgery — so many injuries overlap. But it became personal when I realized how much of what I see in the office could actually be prevented with exercise and fitness.

That’s why I’ve stayed so connected to athletics and athlete care over the years. Because when kids start sports and physical activity young, they don’t just build skills — they build health, confidence, and a better life.

The key is making sure they can do it safely, so the benefits last a lifetime.

A pre-surgical evaluation is about more than just preparation—it’s a critical step in ensuring your safety and the best possible outcome.

By assessing your overall health, reviewing your medical history, and identifying potential risks, we can create a surgical plan tailored to your needs. This process also allows us to set expectations and answer any concerns you may have before the procedure.

Your health and confidence matter to us. If surgery is recommended, we’ll make sure you’re fully prepared every step of the way.
