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.
