EXPERT SPINE CARE RIGHT HERE IN HAWAII

For over 18 years as a physician, I’ve practiced patient-centered care. Due to this ideology, my practice has become Hawaii’s leader in surgical care for back and spine. Caring for all aspects of healing allows me to provide optimal results among my patients. I perform minimally invasive techniques to deliver pain relief from spinal stenosis, herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease & more. I do not mentor residents or students, electing instead to focus 100% of my time and energy to providing exceptional care for my patients. Being able to guide my patients through the entire process of healing has become a necessary component of the care I hope to provide. Book an appointment with me and I will make you a priority and help you to achieve a life with less pain.
