My specialty of orthopaedics and hand surgery allows me to treat a wide diversity of conditions and age ranges (from newborn to geriatric) and to make a positive impact in the lives of the people who come to me for care. I bring a wide breadth of knowledge and experience, sound judgment and common sense to the process of choosing the best care for the patient’s condition. After providing a thorough and honest explanation of their condition, I listen to the patient’s goals and concerns, engage their family members in the discussion, and then present all reasonable treatment options and my recommendations. I have a great depth of experience in treating simple and complex hand problems and have been practicing in a tertiary clinical setting for more than 25 years. I do research in and teach about the conditions that I treat. I have experience teaching many of the surgical techniques that I practice to other hand specialists nationally and internationally. I will never recommend surgery that I don't believe will significantly improve the outcome, but I don't hesitate to recommend a non-surgical treatment if I believe it is as good as surgical options. My passion for working with hand and wrist disorders is renewed each time I can help a patient alleviate their pain, restore their functionality and improve their quality of life. Hearing that I’ve helped changed a patient’s life for the better is extremely rewarding,
