What I love about orthopaedics:

I enjoy taking care of children with orthopaedic conditions and helping to improve their quality of life. Many orthopaedic conditions are improved significantly with the interventions we do, both surgical and non-surgical. I enjoy being able to use my hands to fix broken bones and correct acquired and congenital deformities.

Three things you don’t know about me:

  • I have run a full marathon.

  • I played the flute growing up.
