As a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon with a special interest in sports medicine, I have enjoyed fixing kids for the last 35 years. I treat orthopaedic problems such as congenital anomalies, foot deformities, knee and overuse injuries, hip dislocations, and gait problems. One of my recent sources of professional pride was when a parent, who I treated as a child, brought her son in to see me because of a sports injury.
My goal is to provide personalized care that is tailored to meet the unique needs of children with orthopaedic problems. I've always enjoyed working with children they have an incredible honesty and they want to get better. It's gratifying help them get back to school, back to sports, and back to a normal life.
One of the biggest changes I have enjoyed in the field has been the development of minimally invasive surgery to fix athletic injuries and fractures. Its a huge change that has resulted in safer surgery, less discomfort, and better outcomes. It is very rewarding to help children heal and get back to doing the things they love.
