Practice Philosophy: Taking care of children with orthopedic conditions is a unique privilege. I particularly enjoy ensuring that both child and parent understand and agree upon the plan of care. I want my patients to know I am always available to them. My primary goal is to take the best possible care of my patients and to return them to their primary job — being happy, healthy, active kids!Special Interests: Trauma care, scoliosis, hip preservation, and sports and limb deformities.Video
