My Approach to Care

My goal as an orthopedic surgeon is to listen to each individual patient’s story and combine it with a thorough clinical exam to create a personalized treatment plan. I strive to apply the most current surgical techniques and technology backed by the best available scientific evidence. In that way, each patient will be treated in the same way that I want to be treated, and how I would want my family members to be treated.
