About Me

I'm always working to improve patients' lives by helping them achieve better function and lessen pain associated with age-related diseases and injuries.

My approach involves having open and honest discussions with patients about their diagnoses, treatment options and expected outcomes. I prioritize listening carefully to understand and address patients' questions and concerns.

My areas of expertise include total shoulder replacement, arthroscopy, rotator cuff repair, fractures and shoulder dislocations. I’m also focused on research on upper extremity injuries in skiers and snowboarders.

I'm always working to improve patients' lives.
