Philosophy of care/General Information:As a PA, I value the team approach to medicine.

The interdependent relationship between an experienced, specially trained orthopedic surgeon and PA ensures continuity of patient healthcare, commitment to personalized treatment, and makes certain patients will have greater access to care. The goal of this team is to magnify the efficiency and safety in the clinic and operating room, and to make certain the patient is receiving superior and quality care.
