I am an assistant professor in the department of orthopaedics. My sub-specialty interest is in hip surgery including arthroplasty and non-arthoplasty hip surgery. This includes the treatment of osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, hip impingement, labral tears, as well as various tendon disorders around the hip.
The research interests include outcomes research for hip surgeries, hip movement disorders related to hip conditions, and factors influencing opioid use in post-surgical patients.
