Professional Statement
My practice comprises a wide spectrum of conditions involving the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder, including injuries, arthritis, deformities and nerve conditions. I believe the treatment plan should emphasize each patient’s particular needs and goals to obtain a better outcome and more rapid recovery. I embrace the use of new and innovative options of care so the patient has the potential for the best possible outcome.Websites
