Personal Statement
Fractures can be life changing events. Each person and each fracture is different. I treat all fracture types, from the simplest to the most complex. I strive to get to know the patient, their functional status, their interests and hobbies and their goals for treatment and recovery. I utilize both nonoperative and operative treatment options based on shared decision-making with the patient to obtain optimal results and outcomes for them. I pride myself on my ability to work with a multidisciplinary team that can bring success to the patient's personalized treatment plan.
