Bio

Each patient is unique and I enjoy getting to know my patients to best individualize their care. When I understand my patient’s hobbies, goals, and priorities we can work together to make treatment decisions. Improving patient function is a key aspect of orthopedic surgery and I enjoy working with the patient to accomplish their goals.
