Dr. Umesh P Kanade

Under the astute guidance of Dr. John Choi, I was afforded the privilege of immersing myself in a spectrum of spine surgeries, ranging from complex adult deformity corrections to intricate minimally invasive procedures. The hands-on experience, coupled with Dr. Choi's mentorship, sculpted not only my surgical acumen but also instilled a profound understanding of holistic patient care. Beyond the operating theater, Dr. Choi's ethos as a compassionate practitioner resonated through meticulous patient interactions and post-operative care practices.

From assisting in robotic spine surgeries to minimally invasive procedures along with literature reviews and data analysis for research projects, each facet of the fellowship served as a crucible for professional growth. Dr. Choi's dedication to excellence and commitment to imparting knowledge fostered an environment conducive to learning and innovation, elevating my fellowship experience manifold.

The fellowship served as a crucible for refining surgical skills, honing patient management strategies, and fostering a profound appreciation for evidence-based practice in spine care. Embracing conservative management approaches emerged as a cornerstone in achieving optimal patient outcomes.
