MaleAbout Shaleen Vira and Banner Safety Practices
Care Philosophy
When I see patients, I would like them to know that I will treat them the way I would want to be treated, or the way I would seek care for a family member. This translates into a conservative or less aggressive approach to surgery. I tend to operate on a fewer percentage of patients than my colleagues do because this is exactly the way I would want myself or my family member treated.
Specializing In
Spinal Surgery
Spinal deformities, scoliosis
Minimally invasive spine surgery
Interests & Activities
I enjoy running, golfing, skiing, spending time with family and friends, and traveling.
