Summary

• I am a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh at UPMC Shadyside and UPMC East. I treat patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or traumatic osteoarthritis.
  I perform primary total hip replacements using a muscle-sparing anterior approach for rapid patient recovery and same day discharge.
  I perform robotic-assisted partial and total knee replacements.
  I have published research in partial and total joint replacement in multiple journals, presented research findings during national and international scientific meetings and continue to conduct research to improve outcomes for our patients.
