MY STORY
As a former All-American athlete and current fitness enthusiast I have experienced my own orthopedic set backs including multiple surgeries. In this process of being a high level athlete as well as a patient I learned the importance both physically and mentally of a safe and rapid return to athletic activity.
Given my active background over the 15 years of my practice I have gravitated more and more to what I enjoy most, and this is treating other active individuals. From professionals athletes to patients who just enjoy staying fit it brings me great joy to return patients as quickly as possible to a high level of activity.
