About Me
My approach to patient care is always focused on the unique goals of each patient. Whether a patient wants to return to a varsity sport or walk without pain, I work with each of them to establish goals and chart a treatment course.
I specialize in the treatment of sports injuries, including both operative and non-operative care. While I treat injuries throughout the body, my primary area of interest is the knee. I am interested in ligament injuries, such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and dislocations of the kneecap. My role as both a clinician and researcher allows me to translate the results of my research in these areas directly to my patients.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we’re extremely fortunate to have access to top experts in every medical field and the best technology available. Our team approach to patient care allows every patient to benefit from these resources.

The care providers were nice and listened to me. I didn't feel like I needed to re-explain symptoms or wasn't being taken seriously.

I liked Him he was very friendly and informative and very good about explaining things he took his time with me I didn't feel like he was rushed and he did explain everything as he went along what he was doing how it would help and so on
Provider not only didn't give clear answer, but came off rude. One knee suddenly hurting, feeling weak, unstable, had done workout 2 weeks before. Provider asked me to lift my leg against his push, then just said, "See? Weak muscles. Weeeak muscles." I've been a restaurant server for 20 years. I doubt it's weak muscles, especially after being hesitant w/use for 2 weeks of course I wasn't pushing back. But I didn't feel comfortable talking anymore after basically insulting me.
Couldn't be better.
Very precise on prognosis of length of recovery for injury.
He really took time with me - explaining options for future.
