Overview
I am an orthopaedic physician assistant that specializes in adult reconstruction, focusing mainly on knee and hip replacements, as well as non-operative management of osteoarthritis. I can also treat minor orthopaedic injuries such as those from playing sports or from overuse. I have a background in orthopaedic trauma and sports medicine, as well as total joint replacements. I enjoy making connections with my patients and helping them find a solution, either surgical or non-operative, to help them get back to regular activity. I grew up just outside of Charlotte in a little town called Concord, but really love living in Raleigh now. My husband and I love to go to Hurricanes games, as well as go hiking with our Border Collie, Kyber.
