Biography: 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.
