DIAGNOSETHEPROBLEM,ENGINEER ASOLUTION.
I came to medicine through physics. That training shapes how I see every patient on my schedule — as a problem to be diagnosed precisely, then solved with the smallest possible intervention. For people living with chronic migraines or unrelenting spine pain, the answer is rarely the biggest surgery. It is the right surgery, on the right structure, performed only when other paths have been honestly explored.
Minimally Invasive
Spine Surgery
Targeted decompression, complex revisions, and engineering-driven spine reconstruction — built around the smallest incision, the shortest recovery, and the most durable result.
- Minimally Invasive Spine SurgeryTargeted decompression and stabilization with less tissue disruption and faster recovery.
- Spinal DecompressionSurgical relief for spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and nerve root compression.
- Complex & Revision SpineExperienced care for previously operated spines, failed fusions, and challenging anatomy.
Migraine &
Headache Surgery
Surgical relief for chronic migraines and recurrent headaches that have not responded to medication — outpatient nerve decompression at the trigger sites where pain actually starts.
- The US Migraine ProcedureMinimally invasive placement of small leads near migraine-triggering nerves in the forehead and back of the head — for patients medications haven't helped.
- Frontal Headache TherapyTargeted treatment of supratrochlear and supraorbital nerve regions for frontal migraine patterns.
- Occipital Headache TherapyTargeted treatment of greater and lesser occipital nerve regions for back-of-head pain patterns.
Every surgery I perform is built on one question: is there a smaller, smarter, less invasive way to solve this? When the answer is yes, that is the operation I do. The technology is only as valuable as the lives it gives back.
The
US Migraine
Procedure
For patients living with chronic migraines, the pain isn’t just recurring — it’s relentless. The same nerves fire the same signal, month after month, year after year. Medications and injections can take the edge off. Rarely do they stop the pain.
The US Migraine Procedure takes a different approach. Rather than managing pain after it starts, four small leads are placed minimally invasively at the source — two along the nerves of the forehead, two at the base of the skull — delivering gentle electrical impulses that interrupt the signal before it becomes a migraine.
Outpatient. No hospital stay. Designed for patients who have genuinely exhausted what medication and injections have to offer.

Frequently
Asked Questions
- The US Migraine Procedure is designed for patients with chronic migraines that have not responded to medication or injection therapy.
