He has significant interest in less invasive techniques such a scoliosis casting as well as the most complex deformity correction osteotomies for scoliosis both in children and adults. He treats a wide array of musculoskeletal pathology with special interest in the treatment of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Early Onset, Congenital and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis</li>
<li>Spondylolisthesis</li>
