"As a result of being an orthopedic patient due to a variety of injuries throughout my life, I treat my patients with professional and personal empathy. I believe that knowledgeable patients make the best decisions about their own treatment. I want my patients to understand their condition, how it developed, and how various treatment approaches can improve or repair the problem. When we consider treatment alternatives, I present a realistic outlook on the results we can achieve. I'll also be frank about any risk that may be involved. If a non-surgical option is available, it will be explored in-depth."

"My practice philosophy is to treat patients as I would my own family."
