My Approach

My goal is to return my patients to pre-injury function as safely and efficiently as possible

I specialize in getting my patients back to an active lifestyle as quickly as possible and helping them to stay healthy and active. To accomplish this, I apply the most innovative and the most well- established procedures to evaluate, diagnose and treat orthopaedic injuries and conditions. As a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, I aggressively follow important developments in orthopaedics to remain at the forefront of innovation.

I will take the time to evaluate your condition and communicate clearly so that you understand your diagnosis. Based on the evaluation diagnostic imaging such as in-suite fluoroscopy or ultrasound may be employed, or you may be referred for a more complex imaging study such as an MRI. Using state-of-the-art technologies and techniques, I will determine and recommend a specific course of treatment tailored to your goals. Whether your treatment involves a conservative approach such as medications and physical therapy, or surgical intervention, you will be an informed and active participant in the process. Success comes through teamwork. Non-surgical treatments may include therapeutic exercise, physical therapy, injections, and medications. When surgery is the best option, I can offer a range of appropriate options for various conditions, depending on the injury and the needs of the individual.
