Philosophy of Care
My primary focus is fracture management, applying the latest evidence based techniques tailored to each individual fracture with focus on sound biomechanical principles and careful soft tissue management in order to optimize long term outcomes and patient function.
I believe in a comprehensive team approach to patient care, working closely with consulting services, physical & occupational therapy, and primary care providers to optimize the patient overall recovery and rehabilitation as well as prevention of future fractures.
Clinical Interests
Clinical interest include polytrauma patients, complex periarticular fracture of the upper and lower extremity, long bone fractures.
