About Me

Whether it's the medical office or emergency room, I provide a calm presence and expert knowledge tailored to meet the needs of my patients. 

I began practicing medicine at Central Vermont Medical Center in 2015 and offer a wide range of orthopedic services, including sports injury consults, general orthopedic surgery and emergency care. I have additional fellowship training in traumatic complex musculoskeletal injuries. I use minimally invasive techniques and offer same-day discharge after total hip and total knee replacements for appropriate candidates.

I enjoy educating my patients and allowing them to choose the best options to get back to their desired pursuits.

In my spare time, I'm a competitive masters runner and nordic skier.

I enjoy educating my patients and allowing them to choose the best options to get back to their desired pursuits.
