My approach to patients:
Having originally been trained in Family Medicine, I bring a different perspective to sports medicine than the average orthopaedic surgeon. Through my extensive training in fellowship, and my exposure to musculoskeletal medicine throughout my medical career, I bring a total body approach to the athlete and non-athlete alike. I have worked with athletes of all levels, and I am excited to join the Orthopaedic Specialists team. Using preventative measures, I hope to decrease injury occurrence. By partnering with the patient in their rehab, I hope to speed recovery and get people “back in the game,” whether it be to return to the field of competition or to their favorite activity. While specializing in non-operative sports medicine, I am well trained to recognize which patients would benefit from surgery over non-surgical treatments, and by joining Orthopaedic Specialists, I have aligned myself with fantastic surgeons capable of delivering the highest quality of care to my patients.
