Clinical Interests
My clinical interests include injury prevention for athletes as well as the care of sports-related injuries, including treatment of elbow, shoulder, knee, ankle, and hip injuries. I also specialize in clubfoot and am trained in the Ponseti method.

Care Philosophy
A youth athlete is not the same as a professional athlete and should not be treated as such. The focus of my career is the treatment of the young athlete in particular.

Personal Interests
I'm interested in all types of sports, from soccer and basketball to field hockey, volleyball, cheerleading, dance, and more. Enjoy time with my family, vacations and skiing.

Volunteer Activities
Special Olympics Board of Directors in Florida and now for Colorado International Board for Rush Soccer.

Public Speaking
Yes
ACL reconstruction, advocate for patients and families in particular for access to medicine for Special Olympic Athletes.
