About Me
My initial interest in orthopaedic trauma was spurred by the immense rewards of healing traumatic injuries, which are by their nature highly variable. Every injury and every patient present a unique set of challenges, with the goal of treatment being a return to the life and activities that each individual holds dear. I am drawn to the work of helping patients put their trauma in perspective, overcome struggles and return to function.
