About

Philosophy of care

The patient always comes first. My goal is to treat a patient's arthritic hip or knee pain and return them to doing the activities that they enjoy as soon as possible. At times surgery is necessary. But if I can treat the patient without surgery and alleviate their pain, then that is a win for the patient and that makes it a win for me.

Why I entered medicine

I have always enjoyed the sciences. My father is a dentist, and I always enjoyed watching him care for patients. As long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a physician. My job is exciting and never boring. Forming long lasting bonds with patients makes my job one of the most rewarding jobs in the world.

Community involvement

I am involved in multiple charities including police and fire associations, cancer societies and education programs. I also do community outreach projects and make multiple radio show appearances to educate the community on health issues.

Personal interests

First and foremost, I spend time with my wife and our two children. I also enjoy tennis, golf and fitness.
