Care Philosophy: "As an Orthopedic Surgeon with advanced training in sports medicine, I have had the unique experience of treating everyone from professional athletes to weekend warriors. My true passion, however, involves getting the everyday patient or athlete back in the game. That means something different to each person. For some, it may mean getting back to a high level of athletic competition, but for others, it may simply mean walking comfortably down the block without pain or playing with their grandchildren. Each patient I see brings a unique life experience and perspective, which is why I believe firmly in treating the whole person, not just the injury. I believe that patient education and involvement in the medical decision making process is key for achieving an excellent outcome and experience. My priority is to help you completely understand your condition and all possible treatment options and resources at your disposal. Together, as a team, we will put together a treatment plan that will best serve you and return you to health."
