Best Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Doctors in Waconia, MN

I am a fellowship-trained orthopedic sports medicine surgeon specializing in the surgical treatment of knee and shoulder disorders. My clinical interests include rotator cuff tears, shoulder arthritis, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, and meniscus tears. My goal as an orthopedic surgeon is to return patients back to their pre-injury levels and doing the things that they enjoy doing most. I take a patient-first approach to understand the problem, patient goals, and use a shared-decision making model to develop an appropriate treatment plan.

I joined HealthPartners in 2012 following a sports medicine fellowship at Wake Forest University and an orthopedic residency at the University of Minnesota. My special interests include shoulder, knee, and hip arthroscopy. I enjoy basketball and was the Slam Dunk Champion at Princeton University in 2000 while an undergraduate. I live in St. Paul with my wife and seven children.

I treat patients with hip and knee pain, most commonly from arthritis, deformities, dysplasia and prior injuries or trauma. I perform primary and revision hip and knee replacements, including partial and total joint replacements. I particularly enjoy seeing a patient's life transformed almost immediately as they begin their recovery after surgery.
