Care Philosophy
My priority is getting you your best possible recovery after injury. This involves a combination of surgical or non-surgical treatment of the injury as well as guidance through the rehabilitation process. I believe in educating you regarding common complications, expected set backs and challenges so you can avoid these whenever possible. In addition, I understand how disruptive an injury can be to all aspects of your life including work, social interaction and relationships. I will work with you to get you back doing the things you love as quickly and safely as possible.
Specializing In
Complex fractures (breaks) of the pelvis, upper and lower extremities. Reconstruction of non-healed or incorrectly healed fractures. Correction of traumatic deformities. Treatment of post-traumatic arthritis in the foot and ankle. New and old injuries.
Interests & Activities
My clinical interest is focused primarily on orthopaedic traumatology, which encompasses a wide range of muskuloskeletal injuries to bones, tendons, ligaments and soft tissue. In addition to taking care of patients with new injuries, I also manage downstream issues that arise after trauma such as stiffness, nonunion, malunion limb deformity, chronic osteomyelitis and post-traumatic arthritis.
