Biography

I am a board-certified Orthopaedic Surgeon with specialty training in Sports Medicine. I have been in practice at the University of Rochester since 2003. I focus on the treatment of injuries to the shoulder and knee. My shoulder practice includes arthroscopic correction of throwing injuries, rotator cuff disease, and shoulder instability (labrum tears). My treatment of knee injuries includes arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, as well as the treatment of the lateral and medial collateral ligaments. I treat meniscus injuries, and this includes meniscus transplantation when appropriate. I also perform articular cartilage repair, and grafting for salvage of injuries to the knee cartilage. I am the primary Team Physician for the University of Rochester athletes, SUNY Geneseo athletes, and share responsibility for several professional teams in the Rochester area. My practice does not focus on arthritis of the knee or shoulder.

Research

I participate with research teams focused on patient reported outcomes. Our studies utilize pre-operative and post-operative information provided by patients to help predict anticipated performance and functional recovery after injuries to the knee and shoulder. My goal as a surgeon is to maximize patient improvement after surgery. Our research helps to identify factors that influence results, and how we may adjust these factors to improve individual outcomes after surgery.
