From the Doctor:
I have been in practice for more than 15 years and love practicing orthopedics because of the difference that I can make in people’s lives. I endeavor to provide patients with a pain free and fully functional life. My philosophy of care is to use the most conservative treatment once the patient is diagnosed, often this does not involve surgery. It is important to me to take time with my patients to explain their diagnosis and treatment options so they can fully understand their condition
