About Me and My Practice

On Patients
My goal as an orthopaedic surgeon is to give patients a clear understanding of diagnosis, discuss available treatment options and provide the means to maximize the pateint’s functional level and mobility.

On Orthopaedic Surgery
Orthopaedic surgeons evaluate, diagnose and treat conditions of the musculoskeletal system which includes not only bones and joints, but also ligaments, tendons and muscles.

About Me
After completion of orthopaedic surgery residency, received sub-specialty training in sports medicine with the Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Group. The doctors in that group serve as the team physicians for the US Men’s and Women’s National Soccer Teams, Chivas USA Major League Soccer Team, Pepperdine University and the Tour of California professional cycling race. While working closely with professional athletes, I have had the opportunity to learn current treatment techniques for athletes of all levels.

Personal Information
I was born in Port Angeles and attended local schools, graduating from high school in 1993. I have wonderful memories of growing up here and it continues to be a great place to call home. In addition to working with athletes, I enjoy skiing, hiking, mountain climbing, traveling and spending time with my wife and four children.
