Clinical Interests
I believe in a team approach to improve patient care, especially in the event of a devastating injury. I am involved in multi-disciplinary care with hand and physical therapists, orthopedists, infectious disease and oncologic specialists and others to maximize my ability to discuss and help manage the full scope of a patient's care.
Care Philosophy
I strive to provide the best care for my patients. I believe in treating the person as a whole, taking every aspect of a patient’s body and health into consideration during diagnosis and treatment.
