| Personal Bio & Interests |

I am a board certified orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in the treatment of hip and knee pain, injury, disease and deformity, including arthritis, in adults. Although I consider myself an expert in hip and knee replacement surgery for end stage arthritis, my goal is to preserve the patient's own joints through appropriate and timely intervention. In addition to a total joint fellowship and experience training military orthopaedic surgeons in the field of total joint replacement, I have spent time training with some of the finest surgeons in the world in the field of hip and knee preservation surgery. I perform surgical hip dislocation surgery to repair impingement lesions including tears of the acetabular labrum in the hip, periacetabular osteotomies (the "Ganz" PAO) for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), as well as resurfacing arthroplasties ("Birmingham" Hip) for young adults with end stage hip disease and total hip arthroplasties through a minimally invasive surgical technique (MIS).
I also perform minimally invasive procedures for the knee when the condition warrants, including arthroscopic surgery for torn cartilage and other pathologies, cartilage/ meniscal transplantation, and endoscopic ACL reconstruction. Additionally, I do "Unispacer" arthroscopic knee replacement, "Oxford" unicompartmental arthroplasty, and traditional total knee replacement arthroplasty as the case dictates.
