Biography: Medicine has always been a part of my life. My father, now retired, was a dentist, and my sister is a pediatrician with Novant Health. Inspired by their dedication to healthcare, I pursued a career in family medicine with the goal of treating every patient with the same care and respect I would want for my own family. As a lead clinician, I value building lasting relationships with patients and guiding them through all stages of life, from infancy to end-of-life care. \n I am passionate about making healthcare accessible and understandable. I take pride in helping patients navigate complex medical decisions by explaining diagnoses, lab results and treatment options in clear, simple terms. I encourage my patients to be active participants in their healthcare, ensuring they feel informed and empowered. \n Outside of medicine, I am a devoted husband and father of three. I enjoy playing sports with my children, traveling and cooking. I am a big fan of all things Disney. My interest in sports medicine has led me to volunteer at local high school football games, where I provide medical support to young athletes. As a Pittsburgh native, I am also a passionate fan of the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates.

Biography: As an orthopedic surgeon, I focus exclusively on replacing hips and knees in adults who have exhausted other options for reducing pain and restoring mobility. I have performed hundreds of hip and knee replacements since completing a fellowship in adult reconstructive surgery in 2003. \n Thanks to advances in technology and surgical techniques, these types of surgeries involve much less blood loss, pain and recovery time compared to 20 years ago. Nevertheless, I work with a care team to carefully screen my patients before recommending hip or knee replacement surgery. For example, if you are a smoker, are obese, have a history of chronic narcotics use or other risk factors, we may develop a plan to improve your health before surgery to minimize the potential for complications. \n While a hip or knee replacement may not get you back to running marathons, it can reduce or eliminate pain that makes golfing, hiking, gardening and other favorite activities and daily tasks an ordeal. My goal is to restore your quality of life by restoring your mobility. \n My father was a physician. Seeing the joy that helping people brought him inspired me to go into medicine. I was drawn to orthopedics because I enjoy problem solving, the physical nature of the work and the rapid pace of innovation. \n Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Natalie, and my sons, Jack and Alex. We love traveling and exercising together. In my personal time, I enjoy gaming and have a passion for snow skiing.
