About

As an osteopathic physician, my goal is to treat you like my own family and empower you to make educated decisions regarding your care. I truly mean that and look forward to walking through the healing process with you. I love seeing people return to their sport, job, or hobbies as they get their body back in motion. 
My approach is holistic: I not only consider a specific complaint, xray finding or lab value, but always factor your activity and lifestyle goals into a treatment plan. Back pathology can cause hip or knee pain and vice versa. Therefore, it is imperative that I look beyond the obvious to find the source of your pain, and that is my commitment to you!

Although I treat a variety of orthopedic conditions, I do subspecialize in joint replacement and revision surgery. Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) Hip Replacement, partial knee replacement, and computer navigation for knee replacement surgery are a few examples of specialized procedures I offer where patients do not need to travel to Indianapolis for these surgeries.
