I first became interested in orthopaedic surgery
as a medical student when I saw the amazing successes of hip
and knee treatments at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
This interest became a passion of mine during my training,
giving me inspiration to pursue a fellowship in hip and knee
reconstructive surgery.
I have a special interest in treating younger, active
patients who would like to return to their physical
lifestyles. I try to utilize the latest proven technologies
with the most cutting edge techniques, to achieve optimal
results for this challenging group of patients.
I feel a very privileged to do what I do -- to reconstruct
joints, relieve pain, restore mobility, and return patients
to activity. All at the #1 rated orthopaedic hospital in the
world, the Hospital for Special Surgery!
