Orthopedics
I became an orthopaedic trauma surgeon because I wanted to be able to help people in a very tangible way. As a trauma surgeon, I usually meet people on one of the worst days of their lives. I do my best to put them at ease and let them know we will help them get back to being able to do the things they want to do.
In my care, communication is key. Trauma events are stressful by nature and people behave differently under stress. I try to understand what my patients are going through and help them understand what their treatment choices are.
Trauma is a team sport. I am fortunate to be able to work with dedicated providers in plastic surgery, general surgery, trauma surgery, emergency medicine and neurosurgery. We all work closely as a coordinated team to help our patients get back to their work, recreation, sports and hobbies.

An orthopedic doctor is a medical professional who has the education and skill to treat patients who are suffering from problems affecting the orthopedic system – bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. They can diagnose health problems, repair broken bones, and help treat pain and mobility disorders caused by health problems or illnesses.
Surgical oncology is a type of oncology, or the study of cancer, that seeks to diagnose or treat cancer and non-cancerous tumors through surgical means. Often, radiation and chemotherapy treatments won’t be able to remove cancer that presents itself in a patient’s body. In these cases, surgery can be a viable solution that helps patients beat their cancer and recover their strength. These doctors have gone through extensive study to gain the knowledge to properly perform surgery on cancer patients
