Care Philosophy: As physician and patient, we work together to accomplish a desired goal. My role is to provide accurate information about the condition or diagnosis including treatment options that may or may not involve surgical intervention. The patient's role is to own their success by committing to a course of treatment and giving it their all to achieve rehabilitation of their limb. Together, we are a team with one goal in mind, and that is returning my patient to the way of life that was interrupted by accident, incident or condition.
