Description

In clinical practice, I work to understand each patient's concerns, which in hand surgery are all unique. Because of this, treatment options are not necessarily straightforward. I believe in educating patients to understand their underlying problem, and then discuss with them available nonsurgical and surgical treatment options. Knowledge empowers patients to make the best possible treatment decision for themselves. I am conservative, and will try to exhaust nonoperative treatment options prior to surgical interventions when possible.
