Doctor Teacher

Before I ever held a scalpel, I held a piece of chalk.

I started my career as a third grade teacher in Hollywood, California — and the one thing that never left me was the belief that everyone deserves to understand what's happening in their own body.

Today I'm a spine surgeon practicing in Santa Monica, but the teacher in me never went away. That's why this channel exists.

Doctor Teacher is where complex medical topics — spine surgery, MRI interpretation, nutrition, pathology, and everything in between — get explained the way they should have been explained to you from the start. In plain language. With real honesty. From a surgeon who has sat on both sides of the desk.

Whether you're facing a diagnosis, preparing for surgery, trying to understand your MRI report, or simply want to know how your body works — you're in the right place.
