As a college basketball player, I was around joint and ligament injuries all the time. A career in orthopedics followed as a natural fit with my long-time passion for sports. There are so many things I love about this job. The two that really stand out are the opportunity to have one-on-one interaction with patients and the chance to work alongside such a talented team of providers. It’s very rewarding to help patients through the treatment process in every situation and setting – from clinic care to surgical procedures at the hospital.
