Restoring form and function is always his primary objective, whether his patients are a competitive athlete or suffering from a nagging injury. He firmly believes that the key component to achieving this primary objective is listening to the patient. Each patient knows his or her body best! As a team, he and his patients formulate treatment plans that incorporates their individual goals and objectives. He is well-trained in the most modern biologic and surgical treatment modalities, but he promises to exhaust all non-surgical options before considering surgery as part of the treatment plan.
