About Me
I pursued the specialty of Orthopaedic surgery as I was drawn to the opportunity to care for patients on their journey to maintain or return to an active and healthy lifestyle. In particular, the subspecialty of foot and ankle surgery was especially appealing as the foot and ankle serve as the foundation for the entire musculoskeletal system, with a broad array of pathology and patient populations being affected. I have the honor of caring for patients of all walks of life including all ages and activity levels.
I have a passion for minimally invasive surgery of the foot and ankle including minimally invasive bunion surgeries, deformity correction / reconstruction, and fusions. Additionally, I am passionate about arthroscopic (camera guided) surgery including treatment of common sports injuries (ligaments, tendon, cartilage) as well as arthroscopic deformity correction and fusions. Through this passion I have been on the forefront of advancement of minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery not only as a clinician but also as an instructor in these techniques.

Clinical Focus and Research
My Research Interests
My research interests primarily revolve around minimally invasive surgeries of the foot and ankle as I truly believe that these are the future of orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery. This includes clinical and benchwork studies focusing on the treatment of common pathologies including bunions, hammertoes, foot and ankle arthritis, achilles tendonitis, ankle instability, and deformities. I am also interested in research revolving around medical education and mentorship with the goal of being able to provide growth in the field of mentorship in medical education.
