Summary

As a dual board certified, Primary Care Sports Medicine physician I first focus on making an accurate diagnosis. I prefer the use of rehabilitative techniques and if necessary, highly specific, minimally invasive procedures to take away your pain. I strive to make all procedures as painless as possible. My practice philosophy emphasizes empowering you to choose an active and healthy lifestyle and then helping you maintain this lifestyle.

I am also an instrument-rated private pilot and FAA Aviation Medical Examiner. I perform medical certifications for private and commercial pilots.
