Care Philosophy: When caring for my patients, I believe it is essential to understand and treat each patient as a whole and unique individual. This groundwork can only be achieved through a strong doctor/patient relationship. When patients come to see me, I strive to treat them with compassion as if they were another member of my family. But, most importantly, I like to make them feel that they are in an environment they can trust. I will never offer unrealistic expectations. I am passionate about my profession. I have a strong sense of work ethic, instilled in me early on in life; I am professional and knowledgeable. These core values, attitudes, and beliefs allow me to earn the trust of my current and future patients. When caring for my patients, my goals are:*To provide a superior level of surgical and non-surgical orthopedic care using up-to-date techniques and evidence-based practice approaches that best fit each need.*To correct my patient's physical injuries and pain.
