Patient/Provider Philosophy
I am committed to providing personalized, patient-first care that helps people move with less pain and greater confidence. My approach is to consider all available treatment options, including injections, physical therapy, and other conservative treatments. I believe surgery should be a last resort and recommend surgical intervention only when it is truly the best option for the patient. What drives me most is seeing people regain their mobility and return to the activities they love. Whether it’s walking without pain, playing with grandkids, or getting back on the golf course, helping patients restore their quality of life is what makes me passionate about what I do.
Why Physicians' Clinic of Iowa?
I chose PCI because of the outstanding resources, quality partners, and access to excellent hospitals and surgical facilities. Being part of a large, well established group of more than 80 physicians, surgeons, and advanced practice providers allows us to collaborate, share expertise, and provide high-quality, comprehensive care across a wide range of specialties. I value being surrounded by talented colleagues and having the resources and facilities necessary to deliver the best possible care to our patients.
Personal Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife and our two kids. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, reading a good book, and, of course, enjoying a good cup of coffee.
