Statement:

 

I am a fellowship trained physician in the area of shoulder and elbow surgery. My areas of interest include sports surgery, arthroplasty and fracture care of all areas in the body.  I have specialized in advanced shoulder and elbow techniques that better equip me to take care of a wide variety of issues, ranging from sports injuries to revision shoulder arthroplasty. My experience in fellowship afforded me opportunities to work with and treat elite college athletes and people suffering from very complex upper extremity conditions. I have a passion for patient care and enjoy teaching about afflicting conditions to develop personalized treatment plans that better ensure successful outcomes. I am looking forward to being involved in the growth and development of athletes in our community.
