Summary

  • I am a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon with a Subspecialty Certificate in Surgery of the Hand. I am an Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery and Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Virginia. I am the Program Director for the Hand Surgery Fellowship program. I also serve as the Director of Wound Care at UVA Transitional Care Hospital.

    My areas of expertise include brachial plexus and peripheral nerve surgery, and hand, wrist and forearm reconstruction following trauma. I specialize in microsurgery and arthroscopy of the upper extremity.

    I graduated summa cum laude from The College of William and Mary and attended Jefferson Medical College and Thomas Jefferson University, where I completed my medical education and earned a PhD in molecular pharmacology and structural biology. I then completed residency training in the Department of Plastic Surgery at UVA. I went on to complete fellowship training in hand and microvascular surgery in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Mayo Clinic. I returned to UVA in 2017 to join the faculty at the UVA Hand Center.
