I know firsthand how devastating injuries can be to an athlete’s or individual’s career and overall quality of life. I take great pride in getting to know each of my patients personally, understanding their goals, and crafting individualized management plans. Whether I’m working with collegiate or high school athletes, industrial workers, or individuals recovering from injury, my goal is to empower my patients to regain functional independence and improve their quality of life. I’m dedicated to creating an environment of trust, open communication, and shared decision-making where every patient feels supported throughout their recovery. I strive to provide compassionate care that helps people return to doing what they love—safely and with confidence. My passion for orthopedic surgery and sports medicine began when I tore my ACL in high school while playing basketball. The care I received from my surgeon, who was deeply committed to getting athletes back to their sport safely, left a lasting impression on me. This experience inspired me to pursue a career where I could combine my love for sports with my desire to help others recover from injury and return to their active lives."
