Biography

I am an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hip and knee replacement. My interests include providing individualized care for patients with hip and knee arthritis including both minimally invasive anterior approach hip replacement, hip resurfacing, complex revisions after failure, computer-assisted total knee replacement, and partial knee replacement. I completed my medical school at Weill Cornell Medical College, where I was elected a member of Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. I completed my residency and fellowship in joint replacement surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery and New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. After fellowship, I was awarded the prestigious M.E. Muller Foundation of North America's European Traveling Hip Fellowship, where I learned advanced reconstructive techniques from leaders in Switzerland, Germany, and the United Kingdom. In addition to my clinical practice, I am actively involved in clinical and translational research in collaboration from scientists from the Center for Musculoskeletal Research. I also serve on the editorial board of major orthopaedic journals such as Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, The Knee, Arthroplasty Today, and HSS Journal.

Research

I am actively involved as a clinician-scientist. My current research focuses on the impact of governmental policies on patient outcomes after total hip and total knee replacement. Additionally, I have a research interest in improving the diagnosis and treatment options for patients with prosthetic joint infection. My research background has included studies in multiple clinical and translational research topics concerning both joint replacement and joint preservation surgery. I also have experience working within clinical registries to investigate the outcomes after joint preservation surgery such as periacetabular osteotomy for hip dysplasia. I have been a member of research teams receiving funding from organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, and I have received multiple awards for my academic efforts including being named an emerging leader from the American Orthopaedic Association. I have over 60 scientific publications and have presented over 70 abstracts at national or international meetings.
