I have been practicing at the University of Rochester since 2009, and perform both open and arthroscopic surgery in adolescent and adult patients. The most common conditions I treat are shoulder arthritis, instability (dislocations), and rotator cuff disease. I have been lucky to take part in several groundbreaking research initiatives over the years that have contributed new techniques and training methods to the greater orthopedic community. I also serve as the Chief Medical Information Officer for the health system. I am a champion and leader for implementing, advancing, and optimizing our clinical technology systems so that we can deliver truly personalized care and achieve outstanding outcomes and awesome patient and provider experiences.ResearchMy current research focuses on strategically leveraging technology to automate much of our data and insight generation, enabling us to deliver truly personalized healthcare experiences and better outcomes for our patients. My favorite outcome of this work is that it frees providers by getting them away from computers and enables more quality, face to face care time with patients. I am also continuing to conduct research on orthopedic skills education driving the transformation from the “see one, do one, teach one” training model to one of “prepare, perform, and perfect”. This includes developing assessments of surgical skill, surgical simulators, and surgical skills curricula with the goal of ensuring a baseline skill set for all orthopedic surgeons.CredentialsSpecialtiesOrthopaedic Surgery - American Board of Orthopaedic SurgerySports Medicine - American Board of Orthopaedic SurgeryEducation2003MD | Virginia Commonwealth University-West Hospital (USA)Post-doctoral Training & Residency08/01/2008 - 07/31/2009Fellowship at Duke University Eye Center07/01/2004 - 06/30/2008Residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at University of Washington Medical Center06/25/2003 - 06/30/2004Internship in Surgery (General Surgery) at University of Washington Medical CenterVIEW ALL expand_moreAwards2018 - 2018AANA Stephen Snyder Arthroscopy Teaching Award2014Highland Family Medicine Community Teaching AwardSponsor: Highland Hospital Family Medicine Residency Education ProgramLocation: Highland Hospital, Rochester, New York2013Recipient-Louis A. and Mildred M.
