Honored to be recognized once again as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor in Neurosurgery, marking my sixth consecutive year receiving this distinction.

This recognition reflects the trust that our patients place in our entire team, including our dedicated APPs, nurses, techs and operating room staff. It’s truly a team effort, and it’s a true privilege to be working alongside our outstanding team members everyday for the betterment of our patients’ lives.

Excited to welcome our newest neurosurgery interns at Inova and Walter Reed as they begin the next chapter of their journey.

Our Intern Boot Camp is designed to help bridge the transition from medical school to residency by building core surgical skills and mentoring our residents on clinical decision-making, emotional
intelligence, resilience and financial wellbeing.

It’s a privilege to be part of shaping the next generation of neurosurgeons, and I’m looking forward to watching these talented individuals grow throughout their training.

Great to be back in Chicago for the Becker’s Spine Conference, where I had the opportunity to participate in the keynote panel discussing the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence in Spine Care.

The conversation explored how AI is transforming patient care, surgical planning, clinical decision-making, research, and healthcare operations. As these technologies continue to advance, it is exciting to consider their potential to improve outcomes and enhance the management of spinal disorders.

Low back pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek medical care, but it doesn’t always originate from the spine.

In this behind-the-scenes teaser from a recent interview and educational video, I discuss sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction as one of the most common yet overlooked causes of low back pain.

Stay tuned for the full video where we break down symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options, alongside a remarkable testimonial from one of our patients.

After trusting us with her care and undergoing surgery at Inova, one of my dear patients took the time to draw this beautiful portrait of me. I’m honestly humbled… and I have to admit, the painting might be an improvement on the original 😅

Moments like this are a powerful reminder that medicine is so much more than procedures and outcomes. It’s about connection, trust, and the human side of healing.

At Inova, we take pride in staying at the forefront of technological innovation to bring our patients the most advanced care possible. That’s why we’re honored to be the first hospital system on the East Coast to perform surgery using the newly branded activL® Lumbar Artificial Disc.

Lumbar disc replacement is an exciting advancement in spine surgery because it focuses on motion preservation. Unlike traditional fusion procedures that permanently limit movement, artificial disc technology is designed to maintain the natural motion of the spine. Preserving motion reduces stress on adjacent spinal segments and supports a more natural recovery and long-term spine health.

We’re proud to continue leading the way in bringing cutting-edge spine technologies to our community and advancing the future of patient care.

An incredibly successful weekend at the Neurosurgical Society of the Virginias meeting. Outstanding turnout, strong industry engagement, and impressive posters and presentations from neurosurgeons, residents, and medical students made for a truly energizing and intellectually rich meeting.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to have served as Treasurer of the society over the past two years, and deeply honored to have been elected Secretary for the next two. Looking forward to continuing to work with this exceptional group to advance our field, support education, and strengthen our regional neurosurgical community.
