I’m the medical director of the pain management program at Park Nicollet, and I care for patients at specialty centers in St. Louis Park and Maple Grove. My focus is on providing treatment so that patients can get back to doing the things they enjoy after encountering pain that limits their ability to engage in those activities. The body naturally responds to pain by limiting movement, but there are multidisciplinary treatments to intervene in positive ways to reduce pain while improving function. By multidisciplinary, I mean offering services from physical and occupational therapists, acupuncture specialists and other professionals. At Park Nicollet, I help direct a team of these pain specialists, all committed to finding the right solution for each patient’s pain.

When I’m not working, I’m an avid snowboarder, world traveler and star karaoke singer (but failed rock star).
