About Me
I have always been drawn to the specialty of orthopedic sports medicine. As an active person, I can appreciate how important it is for people to regain their function and return to their activities after an injury.
At the Sports Medicine Center at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ Orthopedic Center, I treat everyone from young athletes and middle-aged weekend warriors with tendon and ligament injuries to older patients who have degenerative conditions hoping to stave off total joint replacement surgery.
I specialize in arthroscopic and minimally invasive procedures of the shoulder, knee, elbow, and ankle. Whenever possible, I explore nonsurgical options, including physical therapy and biologic treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma and stem cell injections.
Patients are individuals, so I believe their treatment options should meet their unique set of needs. For me, medicine is about working with each person to determine which treatment strategy makes the most sense and will deliver the best possible results.
My responsibility as a physician is to teach patients about their conditions and explain the pros and cons of each treatment recommendation. This helps them feel empowered and encourages them to take an active role in their care. In my experience, this type of genuine collaborative partnership results in more informed and motivated patients, which ultimately improves their outcomes.
In the past two decades, I have participated in research focused on optimizing surgical and nonsurgical treatment outcomes. Most recently, I was on a research team that investigated the potential role of stem cell augmentation in rotator cuff repair surgery.
