Biography

Bio

Regional anesthesia has long been an interest of mine. Currently, I am the Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Fellowship Program Director and also involved with orthopedic and OB anesthesia as well as medical student education. My research is focused on the use of regional anesthesia and opioids on decreasing postoperative pain.
