I enjoy taking care of patients of all ages, from newborns with congenital issues to adults with traumatic injuries and arthritic conditions. My goal is to help my patients return to the highest possible level of function. When not taking care of patients, I can usually be found outside playing with my family, swimming, hiking and bicycling in the summer, and skiing in the winter.
