Our Team

I specifically chose physical medicine and rehabilitation as my specialty so that I could help my patients regain their physical functionality. It is my goal to give them the ability to help themselves.

I am a board certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon. My practice is focused on joint reconstruction with special interest in lower extremity arthritis surgery. I offer the newest, less invasive techniques in hip and knee replacement surgery.

My practice focuses on conditions affecting the hand through the shoulder, with special interest in care of the hand and wrist, and shoulder arthroscopy.

As a surgeon, my role is to help you overcome your injury or ailment so that you can regain control of your life.  The best way to assist you is to listen to you so that I can understand your goals and offer you treatments that best match those goals.

As a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, I want to help patients get back to their normal lives feeling healthier and better than when they first arrived in my office.

Whether it be getting back to sports or simply being able to complete daily activities, my goal is to improve the quality of life for my patients.  I am fluent in Spanish.  (Se habla español.)

My focus is not only to identify a patient’s problem and treat them, but to also educate them about their condition as we are discussing the different options for treatment.

As an Orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine physician, I strive to provide the best care and treatment to local athletes and those that live an active lifestyle.

My practice focuses on sports medicine, arthroscopy, knee and shoulder injuries, joint replacement and fracture care. My philosophy is to listen to my patients and communicate clearly with them in order to come up with treatment options that best fit them and their lifestyle.

My practice focuses on upper extremity from shoulder to hand. I have a special interest in arthroscopic treatment of the rotator cuff disorders, shoulder arthritis and sports-related shoulder injuries.

I believe in a conservative approach to treatment whenever possible and encourage patient involvement to determine the best plan of care.  I want to help my patients return to the lifestyle and activities they enjoy.

My practice includes management of all aspects of hip and knee replacement (including complex revisions and direct anterior hips) as well as fracture/trauma care and general orthopaedics.

My focus is on my patients. I enjoy working closely with them, and I believe that creating a strong doctor-patient relationship requires clear communication. My goal is to help put patients at ease by making complex medical terms and topics easy to understand while encouraging patients to ask questions and express the concerns they have about their care.

My practice is focused on sports medicine, knee and shoulder arthroscopy, joint replacement as well as general orthopaedics. I tailor my care to the patient’s needs and goals to offer the best treatment plans to return patients back to their normal activities.

I will listen to you and take the time to make sure you fully understand your situation and all treatment options available. I realize that my responsibility is to you and to your ability to return to the activity you enjoy the most. Working together, we can do just that.

My goal is to improve quality of life and alleviate pain.  I try to help my patients to be more active and give them hope.

My approach towards patients is personalized. I believe there is no one textbook that can be applied to every patient, and each patient can expect to be treated as an individual. I strive to work with each patient to educate them about their condition and find the best treatment for them.
