I was inspired to pursue orthopedic spine surgery after witnessing the profound impact that corrective spine surgery had on a family member's quality of life. This experience ignited a passion for helping patients regain mobility and alleviate chronic pain, which are often life-altering outcomes of successful spine surgery.

I stay current by actively participating in continuing medical education, attending national and international conferences, and engaging in research. Additionally, I am an active member of professional societies that focus on spine surgery, which provides access to the latest research and peer discussions.

One challenging case involved a patient with a complex spinal deformity. After thoroughly reviewing the patient's medical history and imaging, I collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. The surgery was successful, and the patient experienced significant improvement in their condition.

Patient care and safety are my top priorities. I ensure thorough pre-operative assessments, use advanced imaging techniques, and maintain clear communication with patients and their families. I also adhere to strict surgical protocols and continuously review outcomes to improve patient safety.

To manage stress, I practice mindfulness and engage in physical activities such as running and yoga. I also prioritize time with family and friends to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Effective time management and delegation of tasks are crucial in ensuring that I can focus on both my professional and personal well-being.
