- 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.
