Division Chief, Spine Care and Pain Management
Spaulding Rehabilitation
Westwood, Massachusetts
My clinical and academic work focuses on the non-operative care of complex and painful spinal disorders. As an interventional spine and pain physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist, my practice spans multiple institutions within Harvard, including Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Faulkner Hospital. My academic work centers on teaching Harvard Medical Students, physical medicine and rehabilitation and internal medicine residents in both lecture and clinical settings. My academic work involves the diagnosis and treatment of spine conditions. I am actively involved in the editing and reviewing process for several publications, writing of review articles and book chapters, and also some clinical research.
The treatment of painful spine conditions is my area of excellence. My clinical expertise and reputation has lead to a continually growing practice that spans multiple institutions and draws broadly from the New England Region. This has culminated in my appointment as Medical Director of the Comprehensive Spine Care Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. In this capacity, I work with multiple disciplines to lead the development of a collaborative spine center that integrates several non-surgical and surgical disciplines to provide patients with the most comprehensive treatment options. In addition to my leadership responsibilities in the spine center, I also function as Division Chief of Spine Care and Pain Management for Harvard Medical School Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
In my clinical and academic endeavors, I strive to improve patient care and resident education. I have been given the distinguished privilege of being Associate Chair of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. I continue to enjoy participating in academic publishing in the field of spine and pain related care, and will hope to continue and further develop such efforts.
