Dedicated to the health of your spine
A different approach to your spine
I am a Medical Doctor and Orthopedic Surgeon, with clinical experience in spinal conditions. COLUMNA.ORG is my space to share evidence-based medical education and evaluate spine cases, with a comprehensive, structured approach.
My care model puts the patient at the center: instead of fragmenting your case among multiple providers without a common thread, I act as your personal medical director and oversee every stage of your recovery, alongside the team of professionals taking care of your spine.
The goal is clear: understand the cause of your pain and design a structured plan to restore function.
