About Me

I am a board-eligible orthopedic surgeon with subspecialty training in shoulder and elbow surgery at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. My practice includes treating patients with rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, instability, fractures and complex joint conditions. I offer a full spectrum of care from nonoperative management to advanced arthroscopic procedures and joint replacement surgery to complex revision surgery.

I combine evidence-based medicine with the latest surgical techniques to ensure patients not only receive excellent clinical outcomes but also feel supported and understood throughout their care. My goal with every patient is not only to restore function but to help them return to the activities that bring meaning to their lives. I believe in clear communication, shared decision making and the latest evidence-based techniques to provide safe, effective and personalized care.

Beyond patient care, I am passionate about research and education. My academic work ranges from a focus on improving outcomes in shoulder surgery to exploring innovation and advancing technologies in shoulder surgery. I have published extensively, presented at regional and national meetings, and remain committed to advancing the field through collaboration and mentorship.

When I am not in the clinic or the operating room, I enjoy spending time with my family and two dogs, playing pickleball, improving my golf game, training for marathons, and cheering on the Buckeyes.
