Why I do what I do:
As a child, I always liked fixing, making,
and putting things together; I liked
working with my hands. I also had a
love of sports. Orthopedic surgery
allows me to combine these deep
abiding interests with a desire to help
other people into a very rewarding
profession.

Quote: “Anything worth doing
is worth doing right.”

Goals:
Unfortunately, today many practices
are run as a business and may over look
the individual patient. As a business
goal, my practice strives to provide a
personalized approach to our patient
care. My personal goal is to find a
balance between work and relaxation
while still providing unequalled, state of
the art orthopedic care.
