Personal Approach to Treating Patients:
“I believe that quality of life and mobility go hand in hand. Surgery is an excellent solution for several orthopedic issues, but is sometimes not the only option. My extensive and nationally recognized training has been focused on perfecting surgical treatment of orthopedic problems. I implement all techniques and technologies available, from computer navigation to minimally invasive surgical options. I believe that knowing when not to operate and use alternative therapies is equivalent in its importance. My goal is to understand every patient’s physical demands and requirements in order to develop a solution customized for their unique situation.”
