Overview
My specialties are fracture care in the elderly and upper extremity elective orthopedic care (primarily shoulder arthritis). I think it’s a privilege to be an orthopedic surgeon and to care for mostly older patients. My philosophy is to always treat my patients as I would want my parents, husband or daughter to be treated.
