Patient/Provider Philosophy
My goal is to educate patients regarding the pathology of their diagnosis by reviewing examination findings, imaging studies, laboratory tests and treatment options. I discuss all treatment options to provide optimal functional recovery customized to individual patient goals. Operative interventions and recovery are thoroughly reviewed to facilitate a patient’s active role in the postoperative recovery process.
