I am currently the Chief of PM&R at Baptist Health South Florida Miami Neuroscience Institute, the largest Healthcare System in South Florida.  I oversee 20 physicians in PM&R and pain and 11 different spine center locations.  I am an associate professor at FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine and NSU -Kiran C Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine, and professor at OCOM.  I am the lead author of Randall Braddom’s Textbook of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Chapter on Manipulation, Massage, and Traction for the current edition and co-author on the preceding two editions.  In addition, I have been involved in teaching both at AOCPMR and AAPMR conferences for years including spine management and osteopathic manipulation.  I have completed a fellowship in OPP and Biomechanics at NSU and have incorporated OMT into my 34 years of practice where I have been educating students and residents for all of these years.  I have been a senior examiner and board exam writer for the ABPMR for more than 10 years.  Further, I have actively been engaged in research and publications for the specialty.  More recently, I became an Endowed Chair of Pain and Rehabilitative Medicine at Baptist Health South Florida, Miami Neuroscience Institute.
