What I Do
My philosophy of care is to evaluate the unique needs of each patient and to understand their concerns and goals. It is important to me to establish trust between patients and their providers. By working together, we develop a treatment plan that ensures the best patient care.
My clinical interests include sports medicine, fracture care, shoulder, elbow, hand, hip and knee injuries, and injections.
Why I Love My Work
I have a passion to help people. Likewise, I have a passion for sports and medicine. I wanted to find something where I could combine all these aspects. That is why I find orthopedic care very gratifying. Patients typically present with an injury or condition that diminishes their lifestyle and helping them to get back to what they enjoy is rewarding. I also take pride and interest in research, mainly how we can optimize performance in athletes.
