About Me

care philosophy

It is very gratifying for me to see young people return to their pre-injury level of activities in sports after sustaining minor or major injuries. This is due, in part, to the advances we have made in arthroscopic procedures and also to the better understanding of musculoskeletal physiology and rehabilitation.
