About Me
Witnessing a patient recover after an injury is one of the most rewarding and inspiring parts of my job. Improvements after care may range from returning to competitive athletics or to simply sleeping better at night because they don't have shoulder pain anymore.
I specialize in orthopedic surgery, shoulder and elbow surgery. Helping people return to activities they enjoy is both an honor and a privilege.
When working with a patient, I strive to understand their goals, expectations and concerns thoroughly. Open communication and discussion can also impact which treatment may give them the best outcome.
I want to ensure patients are well-informed and satisfied with their care. I'm one of the only providers in the region to offer the full spectrum of shoulder and elbow surgical care, including advanced arthroscopic techniques for rotator cuff tears and shoulder instability, complex fractures involving the shoulder and elbow, as well as primary and revision shoulder replacement.
The challenge of treating conditions related to shoulder and elbow surgery is something I enjoy and was one of the reasons I pursued this subspecialty.
Helping people return to activities they enjoy is both an honor and privilege.
