Looking for minimally invasive solutions

"I focus on arthroscopy and other minimally invasive solutions. These usually involve less pain, less scarring and shorter recovery times. I also like doing hip and knee reconstructions to give people back their mobility. My other interests include taking care of kids with orthopedic problems and trauma care."

Enjoying positive interaction with patients

"I enjoy listening to patients, then dispensing information that empowers people to make good decisions about their health. Talking comes easily for me, and it is fun, but listening to patients is what leads to better decisions and improved outcomes."
