My passion is bringing the best orthopaedic care to rural settings. I was the first surgeon to perform a same day discharge hip replacement at a rural facility where I had a practice. I put a heavy emphasis on joint replacement and trauma. I have performed a significant amount of sports, hand, shoulder and elbow and some foot and ankle surgeries. I specialize in hip, knee, and shoulder replacements. I use an anterior approach to hip replacement that allows for less post-operative pain and faster recovery. I also perform robotic knee replacements.ResearchI am a board certified through the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. My research has focused on the effects of post-operative antibiotics on the human microbiome.CredentialsEducation2014MD | University at BuffaloPost-doctoral Training & Residency06/24/2014 - 06/30/2019Residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at State University Of New York University Of Buffalo-Jacobs School Of Medicine And Biomedical Sciences (USA)AwardsGraduated Cum Laude – May 2009Dean's list upon graduation, 2006 – 2009
