Care Philosophy: I'm enthusiastic about providing each and every patient with the right treatment at the right time. I specialize in helping people with arthritic disorders of the hip and knee. After first attempting to treat you without surgery, it would be my pleasure to perform your primary knee or hip replacement or correct a failed or infected joint replacement. I'm also skilled at partial knee replacements, a much less invasive approach to treating knee arthritis before it has progressed to an advanced stage.
