I am an ortho­pe­dic sur­geon sub-spe­cial­iz­ing in hip and knee joint replace­ments. I enjoy talk­ing with my patients about their ortho­pe­dic prob­lems and work­ing togeth­er to deter­mine the best treat­ment options for them, whether oper­a­tive or non-operative. 

Oper­a­tive­ly, I per­form all types of hip and knee replace­ments, includ­ing par­tial and total knee replace­ments as well as total hip replace­ments. I per­form my total hip replace­ments through a tis­sue-spar­ing direct ante­ri­or approach, which is ben­e­fi­cial to my patients due to the asso­ci­at­ed low­er pain lev­el, faster recov­ery, and no post­op­er­a­tive restric­tions as com­pared to a pos­te­ri­or approach. 

I also per­form com­plex revi­sion hip and knee replace­ments, and I enjoy the chal­lenge of these cas­es. I love ortho­pe­dics because I get to work with patients to improve their pain and qual­i­ty of life through non-oper­a­tive treat­ments as well as life-chang­ing hip and knee replacements.
