Summary

I am a board eligible orthopedic surgeon and am currently a sports medicine fellow at the University of Kentucky. My ideal practice would be at least 50% sports with the remaining portion of my practice being general orthopedics. I enjoy all areas of orthopedics but sports medicine is my passion. I am well trained in shoulder and knee arthroscopy as well as shoulder arthroplasty. I have experience taking care of high school, small college, and Division I athletes in a multitude of sports.
