SummaryExcellence in orthopaedic patient care is always my top priority. I always tailor my plan to fit the unique individual patient. When surgery is necessary, I use the most cutting edge and minimally invasive surgical techniques available. I am not afraid to refer when I believe that a colleague or competitor will be better able to help with a specific problem.
Clinically, I am most interested in difficult problems in the shoulder, elbow, knee and hip. In particular this includes arthroscopic repair of massive and recurrent rotator cuff tears; arthroscopic and open reconstruction of shoulder instability; complex, reverse, and revision shoulder replacement; elbow, hip, and knee replacement; and fracture care.
I am constantly striving to push the boundaries at Wyoming Medical Center and Advantage Orthopaedics to improve patient care, safety and satisfaction. My special interests include perioperative pain management, evidence-based protocol development, systems implementation, and efficiency.
