Care Philosophy: I strive to provide the best care for active people, educate them on their options, and help then return to their desired level of activity as quickly as possible, preferably without surgery. But if surgery is necessary, I use minimally invasive techniques combined with state of the art rehabilitation to optimize recovery. I use video visits / telemedicine to minimize patient travel time and allow communication with the patient whether they are work, school, or therapy.
