Care Philosophy: I enjoy and have trained in all aspects of orthopedic surgery but have a special interest in sports related injuries. Being a collegiate athlete myself, I feel I can relate to the injured athlete better than most physicians. I completed an extra year of training specifically in sports medicine and emphasize not only the quality surgical management of injuries but also the safe return to play and prevention of these injuries in the first place.
