About me
I was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon before attending Stanford University for both college and medical school. I completed my orthopedic surgery residency at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, consistently ranked as the #1 residency and orthopedic hospital in the country. I moved to the South to complete my training in the sports medicine fellowship at OrthoCarolina in Charlotte. During that year, I served as an assistant team physician for Davidson College, the Charlotte Knights (the AAA affiliate of the Chicago White Sox) and the NFL's Carolina Panthers. I have authored articles and book chapters related to knee and shoulder surgery published in many of orthopedic surgery's top publications, and have had my research presented nationally and internationally. In addition, I continue to serve as a reviewer for the American Journal of Sports Medicine.
It was during my year in Charlotte that I became a huge fan of this part of the country, and I jumped at the chance to join the incredible group of providers at Kaiser Permanente in Atlanta. I feel fortunate to be part of such an incredible organization delivering top-notch care to patients.
About my practice
My practice is focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of shoulder and knee injuries. I use minimally invasive and arthroscopic techniques to treat common injuries such as rotator cuff and ACL tears, but also specialize in complex shoulder and knee reconstruction. Although surgery is my focus, my goal is to present all possible treatment options to patients, and work with them to find the best option to get them back to the lifestyle and activities that they enjoy. I emphasize the team approach, involving the patient foremost along with our other providers, staff, and therapists to help treat the patient's injury. This is the most rewarding part of my practice, whether or not surgery is needed.
I consider taking care of patients to be a privilege, and I believe that the patient-doctor relationship is incredibly important. Thorough communication is often the key to this relationship. Office visits and surgeries can be only a brief part of a patient's road to recovery, but I consider myself to have an ongoing, permanent role in ensuring that our members are satisfied with their care.
How I thrive
Although my days of competitive sports are behind me, I try to stay active, exercising as often as I can and playing soccer on the weekends. I am an avid sports fan as well, especially when it comes to college football. With the rest of my free time I try to explore Atlanta and all the city and its culture have to offer. I am also fortunate to have family that migrated to Atlanta at the same time that I did, and love spending time with my siblings and nieces.
