Clinical Interests
I believe in providing personalized, precise, and state of the art surgical techniques to my patients, with a focus on minimally invasive approaches combined with the newest stabilization devices and philosophies. I believe that optimal fracture care and successful treatment incorporates a combination of classic approaches with contemporary theory. I strive to improve patient outcomes by translating the newest findings from the research lab directly to the surgical theater using safe and well tested techniques. I believe that outcomes are influenced by approach and skill, and I strive to provide optimal and cutting edge care for all my patients.
