I grew up with a physician in my family and witnessed firsthand how he was able to help people with injuries and positively impact their lives. As a high school and college student, I enjoyed the sciences but also appreciated my liberal arts education. I determined that a career in medicine would be a good fit for me, allowing me to pursue a lifelong education in science and apply my more human interests to my career. For me, medicine offers the right combination of science and humanities to keep my work interesting and rewarding.

I specialize almost entirely in hip and knee replacement surgery, including computer-assisted and robotic joint replacement. This technology acts as a navigation system, helping to streamline and ensure precision in joint replacement surgery. I also specialize in complex revision surgery for older hip and knee implants that have worn out or become infected.

While technical skills and technological advancements are very important, I believe the greatest way I can help my patients is with my nontechnical skills—engaging, educating, and empowering patients and their families. By developing safe, patient-centered care programs, we’re able to help patients recover faster, more effectively, and with fewer complications than in past years.
