Treating orthopaedic problems requires the combined efforts of the physician, patient and physical or occupational therapist. I believe patients respond best when they fully understand their problem and treatment options.
I received my M.D. from the University of Wisconsin Medical School. I completed my residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Missouri, Kansas City and my fellowship in Upper Extremity Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston. I am Board Certified in Orthopaedic Surgery and have a Certificate of Added Qualification in Surgery of the Hand. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and a member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand.
Providing care for all orthopaedic problems, my practice focuses on operative and non-operative treatment of shoulder, elbow and hand problems. I use both traditional “open” approaches and less invasive arthroscopic treatment, including endoscopic carpal tunnel release. To contact the Orthopaedics Department directly, call (262) 387-8300.
