Overview
Why I entered medicine | I was 10 years old when I was diagnosed with a congenital abnormality of my right hip. At the time, I was an active athlete, and sports kept me focused. So, when I was told I would need two surgeries in two years and that I would be lucky to walk without a limp but likely not play sports again, I was devastated. I went for a second opinion, and when Dr. Tom Altizer told me not to worry, that I would be playing football in two years, I was hooked. Two years later, I was a triathlete and knew sports medicine orthopedics was my calling. From that point forward, everything I did in my personal sports career and schooling was to get me to sports medicine orthopedics -- almost to a fault, because while pursuing this dream I had a bit of tunnel vision to the other areas of medicine. Originally I was interested in sports medicine orthopedics as an academic rather than a surgeon, but a tragic accident in which I lost two close friends made me change my course. I landed in Orlando, Fla., where I started working with performance athletes and professional athletes.
