I care for a broad range of orthopedic injuries and conditions, including fractures and general musculoskeletal problems, with a particular focus on complex conditions of the shoulder and knee. My goal is to help each patient "stay in the game". For a young athlete, that may mean returning to competition after a sports injury.
For others, it may simply mean staying active, independent, and able to keep doing the things they enjoy. I believe in treating the whole patient, not just an MRI or a specific injury. I take the time to understand each patient’s goals, lifestyle and priorities, and to make sure they understand their diagnosis and the treatment options available to them. From there, I believe it's best to collaborate on an individualized treatment plan that best serves you and your goals.

When I’m not taking care of patients, I enjoy spending time with my wife, family, and friends. My wife and I love to travel, explore new places and experience the food and culture that come with them, and cooking together is one of our favorite ways to bring some of those experiences home. I’m also a lifelong sports enthusiast and an enthusiastic supporter of Chicago sports teams.
