Biography
I am a fellowship-trained hand and upper-extremity surgeon with specialized expertise in plastic and reconstructive surgery. My practice focuses on complex upper-extremity traumas, fracture fixation, replantation, microsurgical reconstruction procedures and peripheral nerve injuries. I am also experienced in performing elective surgeries such as nerve decompression and arthroplasty.
I am focused on helping patients restore function through precise, advanced surgical care. I prioritize a patient-centered approach to every person and every case, combining evidence-based and modern techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Whether patients have complex or common conditions, I am committed to clear communication, shared decision-making, and compassionate care throughout the diagnosis, treatment and recovery process. My aim is to provide each patient with expert treatment and the confidence and support they need at every stage of healing.
I joined The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to be part of a culture that embodies patient-centered care, and I can offer the most advanced techniques in upper-extremity care. I am also dedicated to helping educate the next generation of surgeons and providers. I am an assistant clinical professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
