Summary

• I am board certified in both orthopedic surgery and sports medicine. I am in private practice in Sherman, Texas. I specialize in shoulder and knee surgery. I have built a sports medicine program in North Texas that I have affiliated with Dr. James Andrews and Children’s Hospital in Frisco, Texas.
  
  Aside from my clinical practice, I have worked with physicians to build multiple medical facilities under the premise that physician input leads to higher quality of care. One example is Baylor Scott and White Surgical Hospital in Sherman, which has consistently achieved 5 star ratings in quality and patient satisfaction. We physicians built the hospital and partnered with Baylor in 2015. We have also built physician owned surgery centers, medical office buildings, a dialysis center, an emergency room, and several other facilities to meet the needs of our growing community, with plans for several more in the future. All of our projects are partnered with high quality physicians and/or health systems. I enjoy both clinical practice and developing new, high quality medical facilities.
