Leading-edge orthopedics begin with a strong education

"I believe in a strong educational foundation as well as a lifetime of continuing education. As a physician and surgeon, I will never stop learning. To do so would be a disservice to my patients, who come to me for the most effective treatment techniques and the latest in technology"

Patients benefit from my professional memberships

"I'm always looking for more effective and timesaving surgical techniques and the latest technological innovations -- all with an eye towards how I can continue giving my patients the leading-edge treatment, rehabilitation and preventive care they deserve. Staying active in professional associations is one of the best ways to do this. National and regional meetings allow me to share valuable ideas and information with my colleagues and stay on the leading edge of my profession."
