During that time he also was selected to the prestigious pre-doctoral osteopathic manipulative medicine fellowship focusing on neuromusculoskeletal medicine and osteopathic manipulative treatment. He completed his residency in orthopedic surgery through Michigan State University at Beaumont Health-Farmington Hills, Botsford Campus. He distinguished himself during residency and was a chief resident. He went on to complete a combined orthopaedic and neurosurgical spine surgery fellowship in Houston, Texas where he worked with world class surgeons at nationally ranked hospitals such as Houston Methodist Hospital, MD Anderson Cancer Center and Texas Children’s Hospital.
