Care Philosophy
My mission as a pediatric orthopedic surgeon is to help children and adolescents recover from injury and return to the activities they love—whether that's sports, play, or everyday movement. I’m committed to providing evidence-based care that promotes safe, timely recovery and long-term function.
I believe that open, honest communication is essential to excellent care. I take time to ensure both patients and their families understand the diagnosis, treatment options, and expected outcomes. This trust and transparency create a strong foundation for collaborative decision-making and successful recovery.
Whether surgical or non-surgical, every treatment plan I create is tailored to the individual child’s needs, goals, and stage of development. I work closely with families and multidisciplinary teams to support the full spectrum of healing—physical, emotional, and functional.
It’s an honor to help young patients regain strength, confidence, and the freedom to do what they love.
Interests & Activities
In my free time free time, I love staying active by running and regularly competing in half-marathons, always chasing a new personal best. When I'm not on the move, I enjoy relaxing with friends and family, often sharing laughs over good food and better company. I am a self-proclaimed chocolate enthusiast who will never pass up a sweet treat. At home, I find joy in raising chickens, tending to their flock with care and enjoying the simple rewards of farm-fresh eggs.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/13/2025
He was professional and incredibly practical, understanding exactly what was needed and giving the best option that was also the most convenient and cost effective. Including giving me the option of not having to go through a follow up if we felt that everything was progressing normally. This is so helpful as a working mom to a kiddo in school!
