Summary
- My goal as a pediatric orthopaedist is to help children retain and regain their childhood by enabling them and their families to take part in the activities that they enjoy while helping them to improve the overall quality of their life. I take pride in helping families to understand complex problems while providing realistic and attainable goals.
I have multiple clinical interests within the realm of pediatric orthopeadics including scoliosis, fracture care, hip dysplasia, lower extremity deformity, club feet, and foot reconstruction. I am a member associate of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA), as well as the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and American Orthopaedic Association (AOA).
Maine is a gorgeous state that also has a history of providing excellent pediatric orthopaedic care. I am excited to help continue and expand the care offered through our office. I am also proud to provide subspecialized surgical care locally to the greater Maine region.
My interests outside of the hospital include hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding, and snowmobiling. I also enjoy spending time with my wife and son exploring local trails, camping, and looking for spectacular vistas.
