About Me
I specialize in treating surgical hand, wrist and forearm conditions, including bone and soft tissue injuries, numbness, tendinitis and arthritis.
We use our hands to explore the world around us, and I love seeing patients get back to the hobbies and careers they love.
When I sit down with a patient, I want them to feel heard and make sure they understand their surgical and non-surgical options. It’s essential for patients to feel included in the decision-making process and to understand their diagnosis and recovery.
I grew up in rural Alaska with limited access to medical care and earned my medical degree from the University of Washington in Seattle. My subsequent training has all been completed in the Northeast. It’s a pleasure to provide specialty care in this underserved area of Northern New York so patients don’t have to travel far to receive high level care.
