About Me
I specialize in sports medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, where I provide care for injuries and medical conditions that affect a patient’s ability to be active throughout his or her lifetime.I played football at The Ohio State University from 1989 to 1993, and the physicians who cared for me when I was a student-athlete inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. As a former athlete, I enjoy helping patients of all ages recover from injuries and return to the activities they enjoy. I see patients for acute sports injuries, overuse sports injuries and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
I believe in working with patients to provide a comprehensive treatment plan for their individual health issues. I also enjoy helping people to remain active and healthy.
I love working in a place that provides a comprehensive, collaborative environment where everyone is dedicated to the personal healthcare of our patients.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and running.

He knows what he is doing and is efficient. I like the office because they treat me to get well and able to move more - NOT as a SICK PERSON. That is why I go there. They respect what I want.

This is not my primary care provider. I contacted him for a knee problem. This was my first follow-up visit. He has been very helpful to me in dealing with this issue.
