Practices In: Schaumburg
Patients Seen: All Ages

I am pas­sion­ate about work­ing with patients to involve them in all aspects of their care. I strong­ly believe that patients who under­stand the nature of their injuries and con­di­tions make more informed and bet­ter deci­sions about both sur­gi­cal and con­ser­v­a­tive man­age­ment options. I enjoy spend­ing time get­ting to know my patients as indi­vid­u­als and not just as a set of labs and x‑rays. As each per­son has indi­vid­ual goals for their return to sports, activ­i­ties, and lifestyle goals, I tai­lor my treat­ment plans to make sure we can mutu­al­ly decide on the best plan.

Clinical Interests

I enjoy all areas of Ortho­pe­dic Surgery and the oppor­tu­ni­ty to help as many peo­ple as pos­si­ble. Joint replace­ments, sports injuries, frac­ture care, wear-and-tear issues, and degen­er­a­tive con­di­tions all require unique strate­gies for improv­ing pain and func­tion. I hope to be a physi­cian who can help with a wide vari­ety of issues and use knowl­edge and skills from the var­i­ous ortho­pe­dic sub­spe­cial­ties to help per­son­al­ize your care.

Personal Interests

I love spend­ing time with fam­i­ly and friends, being out­doors, play­ing golf, exer­cis­ing, watch­ing sports, and trav­el­ling. I enjoy explor­ing the vibrant Chica­go cul­tur­al scene, includ­ing restau­rants, shows, con­certs, and festivals.
