About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is to get you back to the activities you enjoy as quickly as possible.
Why I entered medicine
I entered medicine to improve the health and quality of life of my patients. I specialized in joint replacement and revision surgery because of the unique challenges present in treating arthritis and deformity and the potential to help someone walk and function again.
Community involvement
I am a member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, the American Academy of Orthopedics and the Pennsylvania Orthopedic Society.
Personal interests
I enjoy jazz and classical music, architecture and design, traveling, snowboarding, food and wine.
