Duke Health offers me a special opportunity to treat diverse pathologies in patients from all over the world. My choice to pursue a career as a hip and knee surgeon centered around the ability to achieve exceptional patient outcomes. There is no greater reward than fostering a close relationship with a patient, working with them to customize a treatment specific to their needs, and helping them return to the highest possible function with the least pain, whether just going for walks or returning to sports. I believe in a systematic approach to hip and knee pain, as well as offering a spectrum of nonoperative and surgical treatment options tailored to each patient. Whether you are younger and have never had surgery or have continued pain after a prior surgery and want a second opinion, I am looking forward to hearing your story and working together to improve your function.

I am an orthopaedic physician and work in adult reconstructive orthopaedics, predominantly with hip- and knee-replacement surgeries. I also help manage revision surgeries and take care of people with infections or fractures around their implants. I am interested in the whole continuum of care for arthritis and not just the surgical treatment of it. Even though I specialize in surgery, not everyone needs that treatment, and as an orthopaedic doctor, my role is to help direct the whole process. The care around revision surgeries at other centers is tertiary and many times not at the same place, but here at Duke we treat patients every step of the way at the same practice and have access to the latest treatments.
