Osteoarthritis of Hand near Farmington, MN

Care Philosophy: My father is an internal medicine physician. I grew up seeing how much joy he got from caring for patients. He was definitely my role model and I aspire to emulate his compassion for his patients and passion for the field and science of medicine. A kind person who cares about their problem, will listen to their concerns, educate them about their ailment and provide options for treatment.

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.

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.
