Overview
I’m a doctor working in primary care sports medicine. I have a special interest in the care of performing artists, and I’ve received additional training to treat musicians and other performers more precisely. I’m also interested in procedures to relieve muscle and joint pain, using ultrasound for diagnostic imaging and guided procedures, and helping patients live an active lifestyle. Additionally, I help provide sports medicine coverage for Stillwater High School. I work hard to provide knowledgeable and skilled care to each of my patients, and I love to work together with my patients to come up with treatment plans that help them reduce their pain and stay active doing what they enjoy.
