Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare?:

I chose a career in healthcare, specifically orthopedics, to help people get back to enjoying life. Whether it’s restoring full shoulder function after a rotator cuff tear or offering much-needed relief from years of debilitating arthritis, the satisfaction of improving patients’ lives every day fuels my passion for patient care.

What I want my patients to know about me?:

When treating my patients, I strive to provide personalized care. My goal is to ensure no patient leaves an appointment feeling confused about their treatment plan or unheard regarding their concerns. For me, the most important aspects of any patient interaction are making sure they understand their condition, know the different treatment options available and feel comfortable working together to create a plan that best suits their needs. I believe these are the keys to building a strong doctor-patient relationship and achieving positive outcomes.

What I do when I’m not seeing patients?:

In my free time, I’m usually with my family, either coaching or cheering for one of my four kids playing lacrosse, soccer, football or basketball. I love to travel whenever possible and enjoy going to sporting events and concerts as often as I can.
