Biography

I am a board certified and shoulder fellowship trained Orthopaedic surgeon with extensive experience in arthroscopic shoulder surgery as well as complex shoulder reconstruction and replacement. I have been practicing at the University of Rochester since 1996. I am currently Chief of the Shoulder Division, and in that role I am responsible for overseeing shoulder care and education in the Department of Orthopaedics at the University of Rochester Medical Center. I am also a team physician for the Rochester Knighthawks Lacrosse team and have been involved in taking care of athletes at the high school, collegiate, and professional level throughout my entire career. I also have the expertise in shoulder replacement surgery in the more elderly and severely injured patients with complex or chronic shoulder ailments and shoulder arthritis. My goal is to provide all my patients with state of the art shoulder care so that they can get back to being active and live life to their fullest potential.

Research

Clinical and basic science research in shoulder disorders, as well as surgical device innovation, has been a major interest of mine since I joined the University of Rochester. This academic work resulted in a significant body of published research and creation of new devices related to shoulder disorders and shoulder surgery. I really enjoy the research aspect of my work because it allows me to contribute to the field of shoulder surgery on a larger scale in order to improve the lives of patients with shoulder disorders.
