My Approach to Care

"I start by working with patients and their families to thoroughly understand how orthopedic issues are impacting their lives, both acutely and chronically. With this understanding, I can work with families to tailor treatment to each individual—collaborating with surgeons, therapists, orthotists, cast techs and nursing. Together, we help patients move forward and return to activities that bring them joy. "
