He is always very positive and uplifting. I had surgery on my Achilles tendon and I feel a bit down. He ran in and said everything looked great and laid out the remainder of his plan so that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. He is a great doctor!

Once a diagnosis is made, both nonoperative and operative treatments are discussed while placing the patient at the center of the decision-making process. My family and I are proud to call Columbus home, and we look forward to serving this wonderful community.”
