Care Philosophy
I believe in a patient-centered approach focused on helping people remain active and continue doing the activities they love. As a former collegiate athlete, I understand the importance of movement, sport, and maintaining an active lifestyle. I particularly enjoy caring for athletes across the full spectrum—from elite and professional competitors to recreational athletes and weekend warriors. My goal is to identify the source of pain or dysfunction, develop an individualized treatment plan, and use rehabilitation, targeted interventions, and minimally invasive treatments when appropriate to maximize function and quality of life.
