Personal Quote
“As an orthopedic surgeon specializing in total hip and knee replacement, my life’s work is to help people reduce pain and regain mobility. My approach focuses on understanding each patient’s goals and creating personalized treatment plans using the latest evidence-based techniques.
I have encountered my hip and knee replacement patients skiing at Snow Bowl and Telluride, running trails in Sedona and even 2 patients together in Athens last autumn. Others have resumed guiding Grand Canyon River trips, overseeing charities in Uganda and of course playing pickleball and golf. Being someone who likes to run trails, ski and travel the world, I understand that you need to get back to the activities that make life worthwhile.”
