Patient Care Philosophy
As a physician, I believe that communication between the patient and provider is of the utmost importance. My primary goal is to help you get back to the activities you love. With that said, I want to make sure we have the same goals in mind, and I want to provide you with an understanding of what your surgery and recovery will entail.
Clinical Interests
Interest in treating fractures and nerve and tendon injuries about the hand, wrist, and elbow. Interest in treating arthritis throughout the entire upper extremity.

Hiking, mountain biking, climbing, camping.
