Summary

  • I founded Wyoming Spine and Neurosurgery Associates in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 2001. I have been active in the development of surgical implants and surgical instruments the past 25 years and I have lectured internationally on surgical techniques.

    My practice focus is primarily on disorders of the spine including herniated disks and injuries of both the back and neck. I also treat disorders of peripheral nerves such as carpal tunnel syndrome or ulnar neuropathy. I have also considerable steady experience with brain abnormalities such as brain tumors, brain trauma and traumatic and non traumatic hemorrhages. I am Board Certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery.

    Our philosophy is to treat our patients as though they are members of our family. We focus on educating our patients so they can make the most informed incisions about their health.
