I treat active individuals of all ages using evidence-based, state-of-the-art techniques. While I prioritize non-surgical approaches whenever possible, I create personalized surgical plans that ensure optimal recovery and a timely return to activity. I stay involved through every stage of care — from the initial visit to full recovery — working closely with physical therapists and focusing on details that improve outcomes. My goal is to provide thoughtful, attentive care that helps patients regain strength, confidence and quality of life.
