About

Philosophy of care

My goal is to provide you high-quality non-surgical care using the most up-to-date treatment options. My role is to diagnose, treat and manage musculoskeletal conditions. I also help educate patients on injury prevention, nutrition and developing exercise programs. My clinical interests include diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound-guided procedures, orthobiologics, nutrition and concussion management. My clinical practice includes steroid and PRP injections, viscosupplementation, tenotomy/needle fenestration, nerve blocks and trigger point injections.

Why I entered medicine

I was drawn to medicine by my father, who practiced family medicine in the area for decades. I was inspired by the incredibly positive impact he had on the community. His example drives me to provide excellent care. 

 

Personal interests

My personal hobbies include tennis, golf, basketball, fishing and biking. I love time outdoors with my wife and 2-year-old son. We also like to travel and spend time at the beach.
