I am an orthopedic surgeon specializing in pathologies and disorders of the spine. Disorders of the spine can often cause neck, arm, back, buttock or leg pain. Less frequently, they may cause extremity numbness or weakness, and difficulty with walking. Often times, pains in the neck and lower back will respond well to nonsurgical care - medications, exercise and therapy, or cortisone injections. Occasionally, spinal disorders may require surgical intervention.

I was born in Pakistan and moved to the United States when I was very young. I am originally from the East Coast, growing up in New Jersey near Philadelphia. I was valedictorian of my high school class and was accepted into a six-year medical program between Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Medical College of Pennsylvania/Hahnemann School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

After completing medical school, I entered an Orthopedic Surgery Residency program with the State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. My fellowship training in Orthopedic Spine Surgery was completed at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan.

I am a member of several societies including the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, North American Spine Society, Lumbar Spine Research Society, Scoliosis Research Society, and Orthopedic Research Society. My research pursuits include studying the degenerative cascade of the spine, biomechanical effects of various spinal implants, and determining the clinical impact of spine care on our patients.

I am the happy father of three wonderful children and am grateful for the support of my lovely wife, who continues to allow me to dedicate myself to my profession.

My goal is to provide each patient with superior personable care, where the patient is actively involved in the decision process about their spinal pathology. I view healthcare as a close, working partnership between the patient and the physician. My job is to educate, inform, and encourage the patient that he or she may make the best decision for themselves. I aim to maximize and improve the quality of life for my patients while minimizing the risks that are inherent in the treatment. The appropriate decision will be deeply personal; it will be a reflection of the patient’s disability, disease process, overall health, and tolerance for risk. Above all, it will be the patient’s decision.
