Care Philosophy: I provide individualized, comprehensive treatment of patients with musculoskeletal injuries involving the knee, shoulder, ankle, and elbow. I strongly believe that the road to recovery requires a "team approach" that involves commitment from both myself and the patient. Most injuries can be treated successfully with proper diagnosis and rehabilitation. When surgical intervention is necessary, minimally invasive surgery through arthroscopic procedures is utilized to accomplish early return to work and play.
