Practice Philosophy

My philosophy centers around my ability to treat each patient as an individual. Through extensive training in disorders specific to the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand (upper-extremity), each patient will receive adequate time in the office where all needs are met. My ability to effectively treat disorders of the upper-extremity focuses on all aspects of care; including pharmacological modalities, hand or physical therapy, and, when necessary, surgery.
