Overview
I am a board-certified sports medicine physician, specializing in non-surgical treatments. I believe that staying active and mobile is fundamental to a good life. Mobility enables us to participate in the activities we enjoy, perform our jobs and manage essential daily tasks. Whether it’s an elite athlete recovering from an injury, a grandparent trying to manage knee pain to attend a grandchild’s wedding, or a mechanic unable to work due to shoulder pain, my goal is to restore mobility and help patients return to the activities they love and rely on.|My clinical interests include platelet rich plasma (PRP) for use in tendinopathy and arthritis, Tenex for tendinopathy, genicular nerve radiofrequency ablations for knee arthritis, exertional compartment syndrome, and ultrasound-guided procedures.|Why I Love My Work|My mother, a nurse, was the inspiration behind my decision to pursue a career in health care. I came to see medicine as the perfect intersection between science and humanity, a field where I could have a front-row seat to people’s lives, meet them where they are, and help them live better. Medicine is a field in constant pursuit of innovation — always seeking new ways to solve old problems while keeping patients at the center of care. I chose sports medicine as my specialty because I’m deeply interested in how musculoskeletal issues — such as arthritis, muscle or tendon strains and ligament sprains — can profoundly affect people’s lives. If I can help people move and exercise again, nearly every other aspect of their health tends to improve.|Getting to Know Me|I’m married to a wonderful woman, and we have two children and two dogs. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, running and Nordic skiing. We also love to travel together and have been to almost all of the continents. I am a fellow of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine. Recently I was accepted as one of the “Pool Team Physicians” for US Speedskating.
