About Me

Care Philosophy
  • I believe that a well informed patient is the someone who knows the surgical and non surgical options and the expected outcomes of each. I like to think that I spend time to get to know my patients a little bit in order to help them decide which option is best for them at the particular time in their life that we are discussing. While surgery can be a good option for many aches and pains, there are often non surgical options and I help my patients to explore all of these before committing to surgery. When we do choose surgery, it most often works to solve the issues at hand, but when it does not I do my best to work through the problems with my patients so that we can get them back to health as quickly as possible.
