My approach to patient care begins with kindness. I believe every patient deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported, just as I would want for myself or my own family. I take the time to get to know each person’s unique circumstances, listen carefully to their concerns, and work together to develop an individualized treatment plan that reflects their goals, priorities, and lifestyle.

As a physician assistant specializing in orthopedic surgery, I strive to provide the least invasive, most effective treatment whenever possible. I believe patients should be active participants in their care, so I encourage open communication, discuss all appropriate treatment options, and ensure each patient has the information they need to make confident, informed decisions. When appropriate, I also review medications and explore alternatives that support the best possible outcomes.

I work closely with physicians, therapists, primary care providers, and other specialists to provide coordinated, comprehensive care throughout every stage of treatment and recovery. I chose orthopedics because I enjoy the science and hands-on nature of medicine, but most importantly because I am passionate about helping people regain function, reduce pain, and return to the activities they love.
