About Me
I am a physician assistant who specializes in orthopedic surgery at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. In my current role, I am focused on assisting physicians during hand and upper extremity surgeries. I regularly care for patients with conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, tendonitis and arthritis. I also treat injuries, including sprains and fractures.
I pursued a career in health care because I am passionate about serving my community and helping to improve patients’ lives. I love my job because, every day, I can help patients regain mobility and function or learn to adapt so they can live independently. It’s also inspiring to be surrounded here at Ohio State by such talented colleagues, who are dedicated to learning, teaching and delivering optimal patient care.
