I earned my medical degree at Tulane University. Following an internship in surgery at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a residency in orthopaedic surgery at Harvard, I received advanced training in hip preservation, resurfacing, and reconstruction through a fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis. I am now medical director of the Comprehensive Hip Center at Baylor Scott and White.
