I am a fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing hand, wrist, elbow, and peripheral nerve surgery. My interests span a wide range of conditions, including trauma to the hand, wrist, and elbow, microsurgery, and reconstructive surgery for trauma and degenerative conditions. I have a special interest in scaphoid fracture and collapse surgery, as well as nerve and tendon transfers. In my personal time, I enjoy visiting craft breweries, cooking for large groups, mixing cocktails, listening to audio book and camping.
