I am an orthopedic surgeon sub-specializing in hip and knee joint replacements. I enjoy talking with my patients about their orthopedic problems and working together to determine the best treatment options for them, whether operative or non-operative.
Operatively, I perform all types of hip and knee replacements, including partial and total knee replacements as well as total hip replacements. I utilize the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution for knee replacements and VELYS™ Hip Navigation for anterior total hip replacements, which enhance precision and alignment for optimal outcomes. I perform my total hip replacements through a tissue-sparing direct anterior approach, which is beneficial to my patients due to the associated lower pain level, faster recovery, and no postoperative restrictions as compared to a posterior approach.
I also perform complex revision hip and knee replacements, and I enjoy the challenge of these cases. I love orthopedics because I get to work with patients to improve their pain and quality of life through non-operative treatments as well as life-changing hip and knee replacements.
