I’ve always believed that movement is central to both physical and mental health. Whether it's an elite athlete returning to competition or someone eager to get back to adventures with their kids, my goal is simple: to help people get back to what they love, stronger than before.
As an orthopaedic sports surgeon, I don’t just treat injuries—I listen, guide, and collaborate. Each patient’s journey is different, and I take time to understand your goals and concerns before we plan any treatment. My approach combines world-class surgical skill with a deep respect for the human experience behind every injury.
