PHILOSOPHY:
My goal for my patients is restoration to an optimal level of function and health and a return to an active lifestyle as soon as possible. I approach my patents with
an attitude of caring, a state of the art knowledge base, and 30 years of surgical experience and expertise.
I have had a life-long interest is sports and athletics. Because of this, I have focused my practice on sports-related injuries and the residuals of sports-related
injuries. My primary focus is on knee injuries, but I take care of many shoulder and hip disorders as well.
I received specialized training and became proficient in arthroscopic knee and shoulder repairs as well as minimally invasive hip and knee replacement and resurfacing
procedures. I also have a special interest in cartilage salvage and restoration procedures for complex knee conditions.
For the past 25 years I have served and I continue to serve as one of the physicians for the United States Ski Team. It has been a privilege to be associated with
these world class athletes. They are true examples of athletes who have overcome physical problems and injuries to return to world class levels of function.
I enjoy my patients and my work tremendously and I feel honored to help restore my patients to health.
