Provider Expertise

Clinical Interest for Patients

Sports medicine; non-operative musculoskeletal care; lumbar spine care; diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound; ultrasound-guided procedures; regenerative medicine and orthobiologics, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), and adipose-derived injections; acute and chronic sports injuries; tendon and ligament disorders; image-guided lumbar spine interventions; athlete care; sideline and event coverage; and return-to-sport care.


Care Philosophy

I believe in a patient-centered approach focused on helping people remain active and continue doing the activities they love. As a former collegiate athlete, I understand the importance of movement, sport, and maintaining an active lifestyle. I particularly enjoy caring for athletes across the full spectrum—from elite and professional competitors to recreational athletes and weekend warriors. My goal is to identify the source of pain or dysfunction, develop an individualized treatment plan, and use rehabilitation, targeted interventions, and minimally invasive treatments when appropriate to maximize function and quality of life.
