SCI knowledge bombs for primary care providers. Designed to help them care for those who have sustained a spinal cord injury.

I’m a DO and SCI medicine specialist who is interested in the health and wellness of those living with a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).

My Mission

Provide SCI medicine knowledge in digestible doses to help inform and educate primary care providers so they, in turn, can feel prepared to care for their patients who have suffered a spinal cord injury. I hope to improve the quality of life of those living with SCI by helping their providers better understand the topics and challenges associated with SCI.
