Specialists

"Every patient seen is someone else's sibling, child, parent, and I want to treat them as if they were my own family members because they are just as important.

I have always had an interest in sports and health. I fulfilled my dream of becoming a doctor but even more so of working on resolving musculoskeletal injuries that allow each patient to regain their freedom of movement. I love orthopaedics because it gives freedom.
