Clinical Interests
I enjoy taking care of patients from childhood through adolescence for the care of injuries related to sports and other physical activities. I treat concussions, sprains/strains, joint injuries including dislocations, fractures, and overuse injuries. I also consult regarding the impact of medical conditions on sports participation and exercise.
Care Philosophy
My philosophy of care is a commitment to my patients and their families to deliver care that is supported by the highest order of compassion, innovation, science, and technology.
