Summary
- I strive to help patients return from injury or disability to an active lifestyle, specific sport, or hobby. I believe in tailoring a patient's care to their specific circumstances and goals. I generally will exhaust all conservative measures first and recommend surgery only if needed. My job is to give the patient the best possible medical advice and to perform surgery when required to return them to optimal function.
