Summary

• I am a Board Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon with a Certificate of Additional Qualification in Hand Surgery (CAQ-Hand). I specialize in the operative and non-operative treatment of Hand & Upper Extremity Conditions, utilizing the most advanced and cost-effective minimally invasive techniques. General fracture care for adults and children, is also provided at multiple locations in Northwest Indiana. Endoscopic and arthroscopic treatments are available for peripheral nerve compression syndromes (Carpal and Cubital Tunnel), rotator cuff/labral tears, and intra-articular (inside the joint) pathology of the wrist and elbow. Office amenities including, x-ray, ultrasound and mini-fluoroscopy (real time x-ray imaging), allow me to diagnose and treat many conditions during an initial office consultation. I have a special interest in upper extremity joint replacement surgery for traumatic and arthritic conditions involving the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand and digits. My practice has a strong Worker’s Compensation Department and accepts a variety of insurance products.
