About me
I was born and raised in Atlanta. I attended Vanderbilt University for my undergraduate education, and received my medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine. I completed my residency training at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City and received fellowship training in hand and upper extremity surgery at NYU Langone Health. I remained in New York for my first two years of practice, during which time I educated residents and fellows in my role as a clinical assistant professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. I also served our nation's veterans at the James J. Peters Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Bronx, N.Y. I returned to Atlanta in 2022 and joined Kaiser Permanente as an orthopedic hand and upper extremity surgeon.
About my practice
I am a fellowship trained hand and upper extremity surgeon and specialize in non-operative and operative management of musculoskeletal conditions arising from the fingertips to the mid-humerus. Common conditions I manage include carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, wrist fractures, tendon and nerve injuries, and arthritis. For certain conditions of the wrist and elbow, I perform minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery.
How I thrive
I thrive when treating patients and working with my exceptional colleagues at Kaiser Permanente. I am a member of Pride Ortho, an organization addressing LGBTQ-related issues in orthopedic surgery. I have mentored medical students, residents, and fellows. Outside of my role as a physician, I like to express myself by writing songs as a hobby.
