Bio
"I want my patients to know that I am here for them, and that communication is very important to me. My top priority is to provide people with the information they need to make the best decisions about their care. I want people be able to do the things they enjoy and stay as active as possible, and sports medicine is such a great way to support patients getting back to their livelihood."
