Q:
Why did you want to start a career in orthopedics?
A:
Growing up an avid sports fan, every time I watched an athlete go down I was fascinated by the nature of the injury and how it would be treated. As an athlete myself, I experienced several frightening and potentially career-ending injuries. Although painful, it was an enlightening process and I found my true passion: the human body, its regenerative abilities, and the actions and techniques doctors use to help facilitate the healing process.

Q:
What's the best part of your job?
A:
Whether it's returning a young athlete to competition after a torn ACL or enabling an elderly person to regain their mobility, having the ability to drastically improve a patient’s quality of life by relieving their pain and restoring their function is by far the most rewarding part of my job.
