Clinical Interests
Neuromuscular disorders, limb deformities, metabolic bone disease, and trauma. I also enjoy caring for patients with connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos.
Care Philosophy
I like to treat my patients the way I would want my own loved one treated and I like to consider the whole patient when designing a treatment plan.
