About Me
My introduction to orthopedics began in middle school, when I had an elbow fracture, and continued in high school, when I had an anterior cruciate ligament tear.
Although my clinical practice has evolved over the years to mostly consist of managing shoulder, knee, and hip injuries, I am still a general orthopedist and care for people who have injuries to other parts of the body.
I perform shoulder, knee, and hip arthroscopy to diagnose and surgically manage joint injuries. In addition, I perform total shoulder replacement surgery and robotic-assisted total knee replacements and total hip replacements.
Many of my patients are “weekend warriors,” involved in all types of sports and physical activities. Some of my older adult patients have symptoms from prior orthopedic injuries. I also see teenagers who have new injuries.
After treating patients for more than 25 years, I have the knowledge and experience to provide comprehensive, personalized care. I listen to my patients to determine how their orthopedic injuries affect them. I then develop treatment plans based on their goals for physical activity.
In addition to my work in the clinic, I have been a team physician for the Baltimore Orioles and a physician for the United States Open Championship. I have also been named “Man of the Year” by Blanca’s House, a nonprofit organization of healthcare professionals, for volunteering in medical missions in Nicaragua, Ecuador, and the Dominican Republic.
