Personal Statement

My goal is to help each patient return to the sport or activity they love to do. I believe that the foundation for any patient’s successful treatment includes a thorough individualized evaluation of each patient’s body biomechanics and goals, discussion of evidence-based treatment options related to their condition, and empowering them to take an active role in their treatment.
