Summary

  • Specializes in joint replacement and revision of the hip and knee, and complex problems related to these areas. Director of Joint Replacement at Banner University.

    Assistant professor UArizona orthopaedic surgery residency program, board certified and fellowship trained in orthopaedic reconstructive surgery and musculoskeletal infections. I received my Medical Degree from the University of Minnesota in Duluth, Minnesota and did my Residency there as well. I completed my fellowship at the Minneapolis Orthopaedic and Arthritis Institute in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

    I believe that having a good relationship with patients is the core part of my practice. It is important to listen and educate patients on their orthopedic problem. By doing this, we can design a specific treatment plan related to the problem at hand. I individualize care for each patient with respect and understanding. It's important for patients to understand their problem and the options they have to make it better, and to grow in knowledge about their issues.
