My Philosophy
I consider myself a 'geriatric sports medicine specialist.' I find my patients are younger, more active and healthier than ever. I am fellowship trained in hip and knee replacement, and also specialize in revision surgery for patients with prior hip and knee replacements that start to fail. A big part of my life is my profession, which I enjoy immensely and take seriously. I feel very fortunate I chose to specialize in knee and hip replacement surgery which are both such incredibly successful and needed procedures.
