Lifestyle Magazine – There are a lot of healthcare and fitness professionals in South Florida. What separates you and your practice from others in your field?
My team. I have a uniquely skilled and comprehensive team that looks over all aspects of our patients’ care. They are personable in nature as well as treatment, and we pride ourselves on treating every patient like a family member. Together, with cutting-edge technology, exceptional care and extensive experience, we ensure the safest, most well-planned spine surgeries possible.
What are the trends you’ve noticed in your field, particularly in your area of focus?
The trends in my field are machine learning, AI, navigation
and robotic assisted surgery, which can help reduce variations in procedures and improve patient outcomes. Also, the improvements and advances of technology designed surgical robotics to make surgery safer, better and more efficient. Robot assisted surgeries offer many benefits over the conventional approach, including lower risk of infection and blood loss, shorter recovery, and an overall safer procedure for patients.
What was the most rewarding experience in your profession?
Seeing my patients after surgery. They have been with pain for a long time, and see to them in follow-up after surgery as a completely new person, leading a pain free life is the most rewarding experience. I take a lot of pride in helping improve the quality of my patients’ lives.
Was there a defining moment in which you knew you had found your calling in healthcare and fitness?
My defining moment which I knew I found my calling in healthcare was during residency watching an operation for a 14 year-old with a tumor of the spine. It was a combined case with neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery, and one of the most impressive cases due to the complexity and the quality of the surgeons, along the amazing recovery of patient. It really made me want to be part of the spine community.
