OsteoarthritisofHand near Red Wing, MN

Biography: I am a family medicine doctor currently practicing mostly in sports and musculoskeletal medicine. In the past, my practice covered the full spectrum of family medicine, including obstetrics and pediatrics. I really enjoyed it and am glad to have had that opportunity. Today, more than half of my practice is sports medicine and primary care orthopedics for all ages. My family medicine practice is limited to adults. I enjoy being a primary care doctor and establishing long-term relationships, but I also feel that I can provide a level of expertise for people with muscle and joint problems. I encourage people to stay active over their lifetime, doing what they love to do if at all possible, and I try to practice what I preach.

Biography: Disorders of the hand and upper extremity affect those of all ages and negatively impact their quality of life. It is very rewarding to have a particular interest in and to perform surgeries on the hand and wrist that will help those afflicted return to activities that they enjoy. I also have a special interest in upper extremity trauma. Recreational activities that I personally enjoy include jogging, cycling, and hiking.
