I am a board-certified and fellowship trained primary care sports medicine physician who specializes in treating active individuals with sports related acute and chronic overuse injuries. I have been in practice with the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Orthopaedics department since 2018. I manage a variety of musculoskeletal injuries, including shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, hip, knee, and foot/ankle pathology, through non-surgical options. I also manage other sports related medical issues, including concussions. My practice includes the use of ultrasound to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pathology. I specialize in ultrasound-guided injections, with a special interest in regenerative and orthobiologic injection treatments, including platelet rich plasma and bone marrow concentrate treatments.

I enjoy working with active individuals and athletes including some from our local high-school, collegiate, and professional teams.

I love golf and have a passion to help golfers perform to best of their ability with less pain. I am Level 1 Titleist Performance Institute certified and I'm currently working through level 2. Certification demonstrates my ability to improve function and identify keys to injury prevention. I have hopes of eventually establishing a “URMC golf clinic.”

My previous research has focused on the effects of schedule congestion on the rate of injuries among athletes. Some of my current research focuses on healthcare quality improvement via the use of telemedicine technology, both as it relates to patient satisfaction and patient reported outcomes. I am also an associate program director for the URMC primary care sports medicine fellowship and enjoy teaching our residents and fellows.
