Overview
I am an Orthopaedic physician and work in Adult Reconstructive Orthopaedics, predominantly with hip and knee replacement surgeries. I also help manage revision surgeries and take care of people with infections or fractures around their implants. I am interested in the whole continuum of care for arthritis and not just the surgical treatment of it. Even though I specialize in surgery, not everyone needs that treatment, and as an Orthopaedic doctor, my role is to help direct the whole process.
