Summary
- I am a fellowship trained Orthopedic Joint Replacement Surgeon.
I specialize in:
-Hip replacement surgery
-Knee replacement surgery
-Shoulder replacement surgery
-Revision surgery
I have a special interest in managing arthritis, joint replacements, and problems after joint replacement surgery such as:
-Worn out components
-Loose components (Osteolysis, Metallosis)
-Dislocations
-Infections
-Continued pain after total joint replacement
If you are considering joint replacement surgery, you likely have a lot of questions. There is an abundance of information on the internet which can be confusing and intimidating. Please feel free to call my office and schedule an appointment so we can answer your questions and discuss what surgical and non-surgical options would be best for you.
