Patient Reviews
Nov 20, 2021
I had visited him years ago, he performed 3 surgeries on me & did an excellent job! He also had improved my quality of life since that time also. No orthopedic would do what he did when I was in my 30's. I live pain free still as today, because of his understanding & the importance it meant to me. I still tell other people I meet to go to him!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
