Summary
- I am Board Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and Fellowship trained in Adult Reconstruction with over 18 years experience doing primary and revision total hip and total knee replacement. I have worked both in academic and private practice settings and currently serve as Professor and Chief of Adult Reconstruction at Wake Forest School of Medicine. I perform surgery primarily at Davie Medical Center in Bermuda Run, NC where I also do clinic. My research and industry interest concern tool design, computer assisted/robotic surgery and finding better surgical techniques to enhance patient outcomes and longevity in total hip and knee replacement.
