CarePhilosophy
I believe in creating a patient-centered clinical experience with a focus on education, communication, and shared decision making. My goal is to improve the mobility of all my patients (athlete or otherwise) through the use of both nonoperative and operative modalities with a special emphasis on joint preservation.
