“As a specialist in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery, my goal is to help people of all ages stay healthy and active. Most conditions can be successfully treated without surgery. However, when surgery is indicated, many of the procedures I perform are done arthroscopically through small incisions. With these techniques, patients recover as quickly as possible.”
After attending high school in Ohio and being selected to the All-State football team, I graduated cum laude from Tufts University where I continued to play football. I subsequently obtained my medical degree with honors from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio and completed my orthopaedic surgery residency at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago. I concluded my training at the University of Rochester with a sports medicine fellowship focused on the treatment of knee and shoulder conditions. In November 2007, I was in the first group of physicians in the country to earn the subspecialty certificate in orthopaedic sports medicine.
I am board certified in orthopaedic surgery and have special interests in ACL and meniscus tears in the knee, as well as shoulder labral tears and rotator cuff problems.
Currently, I am involved in teaching other orthopaedic surgeons advanced arthroscopic techniques at the Orthopaedic Learning Center in Chicago and serve as a reviewer for Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopy and Related Surgery. I am the team physician for Whitefish Bay High School and the Medical Director for Aurora Sports Medicine Institute in Grafton. In 2009 I was a winner of the Business Journal of Milwakuee’s “Forty under 40” award.
