Osteoarthritis of Foot near Saint Croix Falls, WI

Care Philosophy: I enjoy caring for patients who have a wide variety of bone, joint and muscle problems and have a special interest in patients who have hip and knee arthritis. My goal is to improve my patients' quality of life by relieving pain and returning them to the highest level of function possible, with a focus on patient-centered care. I focus on primary total hip and knee replacements, partial knee replacements, and complex revision hip and knee replacements. I have completed additional subspecialty training in joint replacement surgery and had the opportunity to train at the #1 ranked hospital for orthopedics in the country. Not only do I strive to be an excellent technical surgeon, but I also want to provide my patients with a comfortable environment where they feel that they are truly listened to and are treated with care, compassion and respect. I am happy to have the opportunity to return to practice in the Twin Cities, where I grew up, and to be closer to my family. Outside of orthopedic surgery, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, photography and Pilates!

Care Philosophy: I am a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with expertise in fracture surgery and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. My goal is to listen to my patients, understand their goals, and strive to deliver the best possible outcome through conservative treatments and surgery when necessary. My practice specializes in acute extremity fractures, sports-related injuries, as well as the management of chronic ankle arthritis and foot deformities. Through a comprehensive approach, I aim to provide the highest level of care and help my patients regain their mobility and quality of life.

Care Philosophy: I provide comprehensive medical and surgical care for the foot and ankle. I became interested in podiatry as a runner in junior high school. The three areas I enjoy the most are repair of fractures and dislocations, repair of deformities such as bunions, and sports medicine as related to the foot and ankle. In addition, I work to bring relief through reconstructive foot and ankle surgery.
