Care Philosophy
As an orthopedic sports medicine physician assistant, I am passionate about helping patients return to the activities that bring them purpose and joy- whether that’s competitive athletics, weekend hiking, or simply playing with their children pain-free. I believe movement is essential to overall health and well-being. I prioritize shared decision making, taking time to ensure patients understand their diagnosis and treatment options so we can create a plan aligned with their individual health goals and lifestyle. From non-operative care to guiding patients through surgical recovery and rehabilitation, I am committed to providing individualized, evidence-based care every step of the way. My goal is not only to treat injuries, but to restore function, confidence, and a safe return to the activities patients value most.
