As a sports medicine physician, I take care of athletes of all ages who have sustained some type of injury or condition that limits their desired activities. With both a long-term practice at Dartmouth-Hitchcock and as the head team physician for Dartmouth College Athletics for 25 years, I have a wide perspective of orthopaedic care. I enjoy helping older patients who encounter difficulty in returning to their recreational interests and healthy lifestyle as much as the elite athlete who is trying to return to competition.

Orthopaedics is a unique area of medicine where we are usually helping to restore reduced function rather than treating a disease. When someone feels that they don’t have full function we try to get them back to a place where they can return to the activities they want to do.

When I meet with patients, I do my best to clearly explain their condition and the best treatment options. I also make sure there is plenty of time for my patients and their family members to ask questions. My goal is to help my patients return to the activities they want to do and to feel pleased with the care that they’ve received while here.
