As an orthopedic surgeon, I view my role as a partner in helping patients live their best lives. I enjoy connecting with patients and tailoring care plans to meet the unique needs of each individual. The decision to seek care is not always easy. As a team, our goal is to create a positive patient experience characterized by accessibility, great communication, and optimal outcomes. My ultimate objective as a surgeon is for patients to live pain-free lives, filled with activities they enjoy. Whether our plan involves non-operative care or surgical approaches, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to address both general and complex orthopedic needs. In addition to common orthopedic procedures such as joint replacement and fracture care, I am fellowship-trained in sports medicine. Total and reverse shoulder replacement, ACL reconstruction and cartilage restoration are a few examples of sports-related procedures we use to treat complex shoulder and knee pathology. Throughout training I served as the team physician for two high school athletic programs, providing on-site care for student-athletes across several sports. I also trained with the team physicians for professional sports teams including the Cincinnati Bengals and the FC Cincinnati soccer club. Additionally, I participated in international medical mission trips to Guatemala and Uganda. As Midwest transplants, my growing family and I are exploring everything the Southwest has to offer. Spending time outdoors, trying new restaurants and listening to live music are just a few activities I enjoy outside the office.
