Clinical Expertise

Shoulder Elbow Hip Knee

Biography

I specialize in advanced shoulder surgery and sports medicine, with a focus on both complex arthroscopic procedures and shoulder reconstruction. My practice centers on treating shoulder instability, rotator cuff pathology, labral injuries, arthritis, nerve compression, fractures, and complex revision conditions in patients ranging from competitive athletes to active adults. Beyond shoulder surgery, I provide comprehensive sports medicine care for injuries involving the elbow, hip, and knee. I also perform primary total hip and knee arthroplasty, including anterior total hip replacement, and provide comprehensive general orthopaedic care including fracture management, common hand procedures, and soft tissue release procedures. My goal is to help every patient return safely and confidently to sport, work, and daily life through individualized, evidence-based care.
