About Me

As a fellowship-trained shoulder and elbow surgeon at NYU Langone Health, I believe every patient deserves to feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. Shoulder and elbow problems can disrupt the ability to sleep comfortably, lift a grandchild, return to work or the gym, compete in sports, or even perform simple tasks like reaching overhead without pain. My priority is to understand how your condition affects your life and what you hope to achieve, so we can create a treatment plan tailored to your goals.

My practice encompasses a full range of shoulder and elbow problems, from common injuries to the most complex cases. I completed fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery at NYU Langone, where I trained alongside pioneers in the field and gained the expertise to address conditions including rotator cuff tears, shoulder arthritis, sports injuries, shoulder instability, labral and biceps injuries, frozen shoulder, fractures, elbow arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, and nerve compression at the elbow. For straightforward and complex conditions alike, I aim to deliver the least invasive treatment that is likely to help. When surgery is necessary, I offer a comprehensive spectrum of care, including arthroscopic procedures, rotator cuff repair, tendon transfers, stabilization procedures, anatomical and reverse shoulder replacements, fracture surgeries, elbow replacements, and ligament reconstructions. I also utilize advanced approaches such as computer-assisted navigation and robotics for shoulder replacements. I specialize in revision surgery and in addressing complications from prior operations, including failed rotator cuff repairs, failed replacements, recurrent instability, and infection.

Research is integral to the care I provide. I actively engage in clinical research to improve the precision, safety, and outcomes of shoulder and elbow surgery. I have contributed to peer-reviewed publications and textbook chapters, presented at national and international conferences, and serve as a peer reviewer for leading orthopedic journals. My involvement in research allows me to refine my practice by incorporating evidence-based advances supported by the latest technology and study findings.

At NYU Langone Health, I am dedicated to treating every patient as I would a member of my own family—listening carefully, explaining your diagnosis and options in plain language, and designing a treatment plan around your priorities, whether that means returning to sports, work, or everyday activities without pain.
