With over 20 years experience, I enjoy providing personalized, comprehensive spine care to patients of all ages. I dedicate my career to building advanced spine centers featuring the latest technologies close to your home. My other passion is helping indigent children with severe spinal problems all over the world free of charge. Over my career I built complex spine centers in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico through a nonprofit organization I founded.
