My father was a general surgeon so I was exposed to medicine at a very early age. I always knew I was going to be a doctor. In residency it was as if orthopedic surgery found me. I have always been mechanically inclined and love to build things. Orthopedics is a natural fit for me and thus I love what I do. I get to fix things and make a real difference in the lives of others. I get to do that every day and that's hard to beat. As a patient you will find me open, honest and easy to understand. I genuinely care about all of my patients. I know what I'm doing and if I don't know something I can admit that. Knowing what you don't know is important because I can help patients find the answers they need.
