Summary

  • I have more than 15 years of experience in orthopaedics and trauma, after my residency. I have worked and trained in three different continents. I am an US ACGME accredited fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeon and want to develop my practice in the fields of Joint Reconstruction and Sports Medicine. I would like to share and dissipate the knowledge that I have gained over years and I recognize the importance of a continued contribution to orthopaedics and of participation in research and teaching.
