Overview

I have been practicing in hand surgery since 2002. I find the complex anatomy of upper extremity fascinating, hence my interest in hand surgery. The patient population I see ranges from toddler to patients in their 90s and beyond. My approach to taking care of patients is to take time to listen. I try to relate to my patients by finding out a bit about them other than what brought them in to see me. I find that by doing so, I can team up with my patients to treat their orthopaedic injuries and address their concerns arising from the injury or chronic condition. I find it gratifying to help my patients recover and humbling that patients trust me to be part of their recovery journey. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, sewing and spending time with my family.

Her clinical expertise encompasses Tennis Elbow, Rhizarthrosis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and Osteoarthritis.
