Awesome Monday evening spine case review! Thanks for everyone who could make it! These conferences are not only fun, but very educational. I learn something every time.

Just did my 2,000th surgical case at The Ohio State University. Doesn’t seem too long ago I was just getting started here. Couldn’t do any of it without such a wonderful team! Here’s to hopefully many more!

My family left everything behind in India in search of a better life. Their endless sacrifices have allowed me to become a doctor.

This kid who struggled through English as a second language classes is now starting a neurosurgery residency! #neurosurgery #immigrant
