Additional Information:
My philosophy is that Orthopaedic care is about improving function and relieving pain to allow patients to return to the activities that make life so enjoyable. Both I and my family are active in a wide variety of sports and know how important exercise is to a person’s quality of life. As I am getting older (40+), I am also realizing the limitations that age can place on us, and an appreciation for arthritic conditions that can restrict these activities. I feel fortunate to be able to play a role in helping patients get back to doing the things that they love to do.
