About Me
I’m an orthopedic surgeon at the Sports Medicine Center at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ Orthopedic Center and assistant professor in ºÙºÙÊÓƵ’s Department of Orthopedic Surgery. I specialize in sports-related injuries as well as arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the knee, shoulder, and ankle. I also perform cartilage restoration surgery and administer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections.
Both of my parents are physicians, and my father is an orthopedic surgeon himself, so I was exposed to the specialty at a young age. I was always fascinated with the form and function of the human body. I chose to pursue a career in orthopedics because I love being able to fix a problem and restore a patient’s quality of life.
I see patients who injure themselves playing professional or recreational sports or merely performing everyday tasks. My main objective is to put people at ease when they are considering surgical treatment. I provide them with a complete picture of what to expect before, during, and after surgery to help them feel more comfortable and secure about their decision.
I take pride in my conservative approach to treating patients. Whenever possible, we begin with nonsurgical treatments, and proceed to surgery if necessary. My goal is to restore a patient’s function and help them return to the activities they enjoy—whether it’s throwing a football again or being able to pick up a child.
My clinical research focuses on shoulder and knee injuries, cartilage restoration, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.
