Having a hip or knee replaced can be a big decision, and can have a huge impact on your level of physical activity. Knowing how life-changing these procedures can be, I have devoted my career to hip and knee replacement surgery, including minimally invasive robot-assisted methods. I want every patient to realize less pain and more mobility as easily as possible. That's why I also work with other orthopedic surgeons, training them on the latest orthopedic surgery methods and technology. \n I want my patients to know that I am compassionate and completely dedicated to serving them. From my first 14 years in practice in Hickory, North Carolina, to my role here in the Lowcountry now, I have focused on listening to my patients, understanding their needs and presenting them with unique treatment plans to meet their goals.

When I decided to specialize in elbow and shoulder surgery, I wanted to understand much more than just the basics. That's why I received fellowship training in elbow and shoulder surgery, and then became a visiting professor at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. There, I studied the most advanced techniques for the treatment of complex elbow problems. \n I enjoy clinical research and have stayed involved with it throughout my career. My patients benefit from my involvement in cutting-edge research and training on the most advanced technology available. That includes minimally invasive and arthroscopic techniques. These can address complex elbow and shoulder problems with minimal incisions and shorter recovery times. In cases where minimally invasive surgery is not indicated, I also complete complex reconstruction and shoulder replacement procedures. In some cases, I use advanced imaging to build anatomically correct joint replacement prosthetics. I believe every patient deserves a treatment plan that makes the most sense for their lifestyle and meets their treatment goals.
