Osteoarthritis of Hand near Burnsville, MN

Care Philosophy: In addition to orthopedic surgery residency, I underwent an additional year of hand and upper extremity fellowship training. This allows me to confidently treat all conditions of the upper extremity, from the shoulder to the fingertip. I particularly enjoy the increased variety of problems that occur within the field of upper extremity surgery. This includes fractures, soft tissue trauma, nerve issues and degenerative arthritis of the numerous joints of the upper extremity, including the shoulder joint. I believe that every problem, no matter how simple or complex, deserves expert care. In delivering the best care, I feel it's important to treat each patient as I would want one of my own family members treated.

Care Philosophy: You can expect a dedicated partner in your health. My first job is to listen to understand your lifestyle, perspective and goals. Next, I want to provide real knowledge so we can make decisions together, and ultimately achieve your goals.

Biography: Disorders of the hand and upper extremity affect those of all ages and negatively impact their quality of life. It is very rewarding to have a particular interest in and to perform surgeries on the hand and wrist that will help those afflicted return to activities that they enjoy. I also have a special interest in upper extremity trauma. Recreational activities that I personally enjoy include jogging, cycling, and hiking.
