Orthopedic Surgery near Bloomington, MN

Care Philosophy: I am an orthopedic surgeon who is fellowship-trained in hip and knee replacement. Patients with osteoarthritis, or any type of arthritis, may benefit from replacement surgery. I also offer partial knee replacement which can be an excellent option for patients with severe arthritis in just one part of their knee. I chose this specialty because so many patients say, "I feel like I got my life back," after having surgery; there is nothing more thrilling than hearing that. When treating hip and knee arthritis, I think it is critical to exhaust all nonoperative treatments, and then to work with each patient to decide when it's the right time for them to have surgery. After surgery, I want to help patients get through recovery and rehabilitation as quickly as possible so they can get back to the activities they enjoy.

Care Philosophy: I am an orthopedic surgeon with dedicated training in sports medicine, hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgery from the prestigious Boston Children's Hospital at Harvard Medical School. This is the oldest program of its kind in the United States. I am one of a small number of surgeons in the state with training in both sports medicine/hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy. I have a great passion for treating pre-arthritic conditions of the hip and am excited about the prospects of these surgeries to help patients return to their desired activity level. There is growing evidence to support that hip preservation surgery has the potential to delay or even prevent the need for a total hip replacement. Most importantly, I grew up in the Twin Cities and am excited to use my training to help maximize the quality of life for my patients.
