About
I am an orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee and shoulder arthroscopy, as well as joint replacement, sports injury treatment and fracture care.I have a particular interest in ACL reconstruction; meniscus and cartilage surgery; rotator cuff repair; shoulder instability surgery; and shoulder, hip, and, knee replacement.
My orthopedic philosophy is intentional and wide-ranging. I do not look solely at a diagnosis or an X-ray, rather, I focus on listening to each patient as I try to understand how their condition is affecting their life. While I enjoy the technical aspects of surgery, my goal is to empower patients through education, helping them understand their condition and treatment options. I believe the best outcomes are achieved when patients are actively involved in the treatment plan through shared decision making.
I enjoy interacting and treating patients across a wide age range – whether they are athletes trying to get back on the field or people seeking relief from an arthritic joint. I am passionate about helping people alleviate pain and resume their active lifestyles.
I trained at the University of Arizona and love living here. I make it a point to be outside every night to take in the stunning Tucson sunsets and desert beauty. Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and children, playing sports and board games. I am an avid Utah football fan.
