Overview
As an orthopedic surgeon, I have the privilege of compassionately guiding my patients from initial consultation to postoperative care. I find no greater reward than watching my patients get their lives back after successful joint replacement surgery. My advanced fellowship training in hip and knee arthroplasty delivers the best possible outcomes for my patients. I have extensive experience with both primary and complex revision arthroplasty, as well as expertise in the field’s most innovative techniques, including anterior hip replacement, cementless total knees and robotic surgery. As a Wisconsin native, the Fox Valley is more than the place I live and work. It is home. I am inspired by the work we can do together to improve health and make a positive, daily impact in our communities. I am committed to finding new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat orthopedic conditions.

I believe that effective healthcare begins with education. Empowering patients with a clear understanding of their diagnosis, potential complications, and available treatment options is key to fostering collaboration. This approach enables patients to actively participate in decisions about their care and helps establish personalized treatment plans aligned with their goals.Equally important to me is seeing each patient as a whole person, not just addressing the specific diagnosis they were referred for. Many of my patients live with chronic conditions, and I strive to understand their unique healthcare needs, including age and genderrelated considerations, as well as the psychological aspects of their health. By taking a comprehensive view, I aim to provide care that addresses all facets of their wellbeing, ensuring that the treatment plan is both effective and supportive of their overall quality of life.
