Overview
At Duke Health, I am fortunate to be part of a world-class orthopaedic trauma and reconstruction surgery team that is committed to outstanding patient care. I specialize in fracture surgery, complex fracture-related infections, shoulder replacement for shoulder fractures, as well as direct anterior approach hip replacement for arthritis or previous hip fractures. I cherish the opportunity to be there for my patients during their time of most need. I chose orthopaedic trauma and reconstruction surgery because I have the unique opportunity to provide a solution to challenging problems every day as part of a multidisciplinary team. As an orthopaedic trauma surgeon, I meet many of my patients during the most difficult time of their lives. I am honored to be able to provide excellent surgical treatment for my patients in their time of need, but I am also humbled to lead the team that helps them through their recovery after surgery. Whether it's in the emergency room for a fracture or in the office for a problem related to hip arthritis, I look forward to meeting you and working with you to build a plan specific to your needs to maximize your chances of recovery.

Duke Regional Hospital
I am an orthopaedic surgeon with specialized training in foot and ankle surgery. Prior to becoming a physician, I worked as a physical therapist. My focus has always been on assisting patients in returning to the activities they enjoy. This entails understanding each patient's current limitations and future goals to develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs. I believe in optimizing non-surgical options using various modalities while ensuring patients comprehend their surgical options for when or if the time is appropriate to pursue that route. In my practice, I address a wide range of foot and ankle issues, including bunions, achilles injuries, fractures, and complex foot reconstruction, with a particular emphasis on acute foot and ankle trauma and revision surgery. One aspect I appreciate about Duke Health is the ability to collaborate with other surgeons, therapists, and physicians to devise a comprehensive plan that suits each patient. During my leisure time, you'll often find me running, biking, or chasing after my two energetic boys.

Duke Orthopaedics Arringdon
I pursued the specialty of Orthopaedic surgery as I was drawn to the opportunity to care for patients on their journey to maintain or return to an active and healthy lifestyle. In particular, the subspecialty of foot and ankle surgery was especially appealing as the foot and ankle serve as the foundation for the entire musculoskeletal system, with a broad array of pathology and patient populations being affected. I have the honor of caring for patients of all walks of life including all ages and activity levels.
