Summary

  • As a primary care sports medicine physician, I keep people active and help them recover from injuries. I have expertise in musculoskeletal medicine, musculoskeletal ultrasound, joint injections, concussion management, fracture management, and pre-participation physicals. I have team physician experience with DePaul University (Division 1) with additional exposure to the Chicago Bulls, White Sox, and Fire. My personal interests include sprint triathlons, masters swimming, and spending time with my wife and dog.
