About
Dedicated to the health of your spine
A different approach to your spine
I am a medical surgeon specialized in orthopedics and traumatology, with clinical experience in spinal conditions. I lead COLUMNA.ORG, a team of specialists dedicated exclusively to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of spinal diseases.
My care model puts the patient at the center: instead of fragmenting your case among multiple professionals without a common thread, I act as your personal medical director and supervise every stage of your recovery.
The goal is clear: understand the cause of your pain and design a structured plan to restore your functionality.
