About

I am a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement. My focus has become on outpatient total joint replacement in the ASC setting. This latest chapter in my career has led me to focus on truly optimizing every patient’s outcome, so my patients can get home and back to their active lifestyle as quickly as possible. I have developed a keen interest in opioid-sparing joint replacement surgery, now maximizing results and minimizing side effects through the use of modern surgical and anesthetic techniques, physical therapy and nutritional supplements. This evidence-based, integrative approach is rapidly proving to be the future of total joint replacement and I am determined to help lead the way.

Why I choose Thorne

I've worked with several wellness and supplement companies and love working with Thorne. They offer third-party-tested, scientifically rigorous supplements at a reasonable price and with excellent customer service.
