Summary

I love helping people to feel better, and orthopedics is especially gratifying in helping to achieve that goal. I try to get to know patients and understand their family dynamics as well as other social needs. This can help to provide a better framework for how to improve everyone’s care. Many of the treatments we offer can improve people’s lives in significant and sometimes dramatic ways. I help address any orthopedic issue but I have a special focus on the hand, wrist, and elbow. I offer treatment tailored to your needs to help improve function and pain. I am a New England native and grew up in Rutland , Vermont, and attained degrees from colleges in Burlington, Vermont, and Boston, Massachusetts. I love soccer, snowboarding and spending time with my family.
