One of the things I love most about my work is the opportunity to meet people where they are and share their journeys. I believe that movement is health, and my job allows me to help people regain function and return to living their best lives. Every patient is unique, and I strive to create an environment of mutual respect where patients feel confident in the care they receive. My role is not only that of a healthcare provider but also an educator, helping patients understand their conditions and options so they can make the best decisions about their health. The foundation of patient-centered care is compassion, open communication and dedication to evidence-based medicine, and these are the principles that guide my practice.
I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and attended PA school in Phoenix, Arizona. My passion for orthopedic medicine comes from a lifelong love of running and the experiences of overcoming my own sports injuries. Outside of work, my wife and I enjoy living an active lifestyle full of skiing, hiking, biking, camping, traveling and spending time outdoors as much as possible.
