Biography

I am an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in providing both nonoperative and surgical care for patients suffering with upper extremity issues. I believe in a collaborative approach to care -- partnering with each patient to make decisions that align with their goals and lifestyle. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team of skilled experts to ensure each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and values. My guiding philosophy is simple: to treat every patient with the same compassion and dedication I would offer my own family.

I chose a career in orthopaedics, and specifically upper extremity surgery, to help patients return to activities they love. Our hands are essential to everything we do; I am passionate about restoring function and improving the quality of life for my patients.
