My Approach to Treating Patients
Orthopaedic surgery is a problem focused specialty. I try to understand my patients' problems in the context of their overall health and well being. Everyone's time is important and I try to respect that by not attempting to see too many patients in one day. The trust that is required to allow someone to operate on your body is enormous. I remember this trust always and feel blessed to be able to help people with my knowledge and skills. I enjoy treating children and adults with fractures. I particularly enjoy arthroscopic surgery of the knee and shoulder. I perform knee and hip replacement for severe arthritis. I am proud of my service at our local trauma center, Brackenridge hospital.
