Dedicated To Helping My Patients “I am committed to providing my patients with the latest advancements in the treatment of sports-related injuries. Fortunately, most of the problems I see can be treated without surgery; however, if a surgical solution to your problem is needed, I believe in using the most advanced, minimally invasive techniques to help you get back to your everyday lifestyle more quickly. I believe relating to my patients and giving them the highest quality care are the most important aspects in our field. In fact, I spend a lot of time with each patient, educating them about their condition and treatment and, more importantly, listening to them and understanding their concerns. I treat all of my patients like friends… not just patients.”
