My
approach to care….
I am committed to providing the highest quality care
for my patients. My goal is to return my patients to
the best level of function possible. My approach
involves understanding the patient's healthcare
needs and implementing state of the art techniques
to achieve their objectives. This method can involve
physical therapy, medication, exercise, and surgery
when appropriate.
My subspecialty training involves minimally
invasive, arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of
the shoulder, elbow, and knee. This training
includes sports medicine and articular cartilage
regeneration and repair.
My general training and experience encompasses all
areas of Orthopaedic surgery including trauma,
fractures, joint replacement, elbow, shoulder, hip,
knee, ankle and foot.
It is imperative for me to understand my patient's
needs and I am always willing to discuss all aspects
and options of treatment. |
