Information

Days patients are seen at this practice: Mon & Tues 8:30-5; Fri 8:30-1; Surgery Wed & Thurs

Practice philosophy: I AM AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON; HOWEVER, I FEEL ALL NON-SURGICAL MEANS SHOULD BE EXHAUSTED PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH SURGERY. I PERFORM GENERAL ORTHOPEDICS INCLUDING ARTHROSCOPY OF ALL MAJOR JOINTS, JOINT REPLACEMENTS, ENDOSCOPIC CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASES, AND FRACTURE CARE. I HAVE A SPECIAL INTEREST IN ALL ARTHROSCOPIC SHOULDER SURGERY. THE ARTHROSCOPIC NATURE OF SURGERY CAUSES LESS PAIN AND ALLOWS FOR A FASTER RECOVERY TIME.
