Care Philosophy
Sarcoma care is a team sport, utilizing the expertise of a multidisciplinary sarcoma program to bring each patient the best care possible. I seek to treat each patient with care and compassion, formulating treatment and surgical plans that are specific to each patient's needs and functional goals.
Clinical Interest for Patients
I am an orthopedic surgical oncologist treating adult and pediatric patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas. I specialize in limb-preserving resections and reconstruction for bone and soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities. Additionally, I provide surgical management of metastatic and benign bone tumors as well as in the management of benign soft tissue tumors. I have particular interest in both limb salvage and biologic reconstructions in pediatric patients with sarcoma as well as surgical resections in the management of pelvic sarcomas.
