“I am dedicated to improving the lives of my patients and their families. With every orthopedic consult comes the opportunity to restore the function and activity of my patients. I believe excellent care starts with a clear understanding of the diagnosis and thorough understanding of the treatment options. I practice evidence based Orthopaedic medicine, so I’m always looking to improve my practice and adopt new technologies when research studies show clear benefits. I enjoy working with patients to find the best solution for their problem, starting with non-invasive methods and reserving surgery only for problems best treated surgically. The best days of my week are when I see patients for long term follow-up visits after surgery which has changed their lives.

I also enjoy teaching surgery, so I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to train resident Orthopaedic doctors from UCSF in the operating room at the VA Medical Center in San Francisco. ”

“Although I treat many patients with similar orthopedic injuries, I believe that the best outcomes for patients result from individualized treatment plans. Not every injury is the same. And to be sure, every patient has his or her own goals. Whether your hope is to return to a high level of competitive sports or to be able to walk your dog without pain, forming the best treatment plan requires excellent communication and trust with your surgeon. I am committed to listening and working with you to find the best treatment approach for your injury and lifestyle.”
