Osteoarthritis of Hand near Burnsville, MN

Care Philosophy: I am a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in treating conditions of the hand, wrist and elbow in patients of all ages, from children to adults. I enjoy taking care of patients with fractures, sports injuries, arthritis, nerve conditions and congenital differences. Through treatments and procedures including physical therapy, arthroscopy and surgical repair or replacement, my goal is restoring upper extremity function to allow patients to return to work and the activities they enjoy.

Care Philosophy: You can expect a dedicated partner in your health. My first job is to listen to understand your lifestyle, perspective and goals. Next, I want to provide real knowledge so we can make decisions together, and ultimately achieve your goals.

Care Philosophy: In addition to orthopedic surgery residency, I underwent an additional year of hand and upper extremity fellowship training. This allows me to confidently treat all conditions of the upper extremity, from the shoulder to the fingertip. I particularly enjoy the increased variety of problems that occur within the field of upper extremity surgery. This includes fractures, soft tissue trauma, nerve issues and degenerative arthritis of the numerous joints of the upper extremity, including the shoulder joint. I believe that every problem, no matter how simple or complex, deserves expert care. In delivering the best care, I feel it's important to treat each patient as I would want one of my own family members treated.
