Joint pain isn't "normal" — it's a signal.

Ignoring it almost always makes it worse. Understanding what's causing it is the first step to stop living around it.

A knee that clicks or gives out

Pain on stairs or when squatting, or that feeling that it might "buckle." It could be the meniscus or a ligament.

A shoulder that won't let you sleep

You can't lift your arm, comb your hair or sleep on that side. The rotator cuff is often behind that night pain.

Back pain that runs down your leg

Low-back pain that travels to the buttock or leg, with tingling. It may come from a disc pressing on a nerve.

Areas of care

Where I can help you

My main focus is knee and spine, but I assess and treat the whole musculoskeletal system — from the collarbone to the spine.

Knee anatomy

Knee

Meniscus and ACL injuries, wear and osteoarthritis. Arthroscopy to repair without large incisions.

How I work

Understand first. Operate only if necessary.

Not every injury needs surgery. My work begins with an honest diagnosis: listening to your story, examining you, and explaining clearly what's happening and what real options you have — from rehab and injections to surgery, if that's the best path for you.

  • A clear diagnosis, explained in words you understand
  • Conservative treatment before the operating room whenever possible
  • Arthroscopic surgery: small incisions, less pain
  • A recovery plan to get you back to what you love
