I believe in treating my patients as whole human beings, not just as body parts or injuries. I always do my best to listen to my patients and tailor my treatments appropriately according to their own prior experiences and personal preferences. I take time during each visit to explain the findings in x-rays and other tests, and make those findings relatable to symptoms and treatment. Although I m a surgeon, I do my best in every case to try appropriate non-surgical treatments first, and reserve surgery as a last resort. My goal is to keep my patients healthy, active, and pain-free with the smallest amount of medication and surgery as possible.My primary specialization is in the treatment of arthritis and other degenerative or traumatic conditions of the hip and knee. If surgery is required, I use the latest technologies including surgical x-ray and robotics to perform partial and total hip and knee replacements with the highest degree of accuracy and predictability. I also treat general orthopaedic conditions such as fractures, dislocations, tendon injuries, and joint inflammation. I believe in treating patients equally and accept nearly all insurance plans.In addition to my clinical practice, I have an interest in research and am actively enrolling patients in trials with the goal of finding more effective medications and surgical technology to benefit future generations. My orthopaedic research articles and review chapters have been accepted into prestigious publications such as the Journal of Arthroplasty and the Orthopaedic Knowledge Update. I work with a team of residents and fellows and oversee their clinical education in the office, hospital wards, and the operating room.
