Biography

I am an Orthopaedic Surgeon specializing in the treatment of advanced hip and knee arthritis with total joint replacement and partial knee replacement. My practice focuses on the nonsurgical care of patients with hip and knee arthropathy as well as primary and complex hip and knee reconstruction including revision procedures for problematic hip and knee replacements. I employ modern techniques, approaches, and technology to provide up-to-date and evidence-based care that can facilitate functional rehabilitation and rapid recovery while optimizing clinical outcomes for my patients.

Native to the Rochester area, I have a sense of dedication and loyalty to this community. In addition, I value the advancement of the orthopaedic profession through political advocacy on both state and national stages.

Research

During my training, I received the Louis A. Goldstein and Mildred M. Goldstein Orthopaedic Research Award, which helped me pursue my research focusing on complex revision hip arthroplasty and improving/optimizing patient outcomes after hip and knee arthroplasty. I am proud that my experience and training allow me the opportunity to teach future physicians the practice of orthopaedic surgery, and to facilitate the scientific endeavor of advancing the field of orthopaedics through academic research pursuits.
