Her research interests include looking for new and better ways to develop the practice of Hand Surgery, "I don’t have a specific predisposition to any one topic. I am open to progress." How I Came to Philadelphia Hand and Shoulder Center“I first became interested in Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center when I was a fourth-year orthopaedic resident at Mount Sinai Hospital. My mentor, Dr. Steve Green had trained at The Hand Center under Dr. Lawrence Schneider. He suggested I check it out. I went for an elective rotation during my fourth year in residency and had initial plans to stay for one month. I loved it so much that I spent the whole four-month elective rotation here.My experience was so rewarding, I decided to apply for the Hand and Upper Extremity Fellowship Program. It was clear to me that this was the ideal place and I was ecstatic to be selected for their Fellowship.I am a New Yorker at heart so, after my Fellowship training in Philadelphia, I took a job in New York for a year with my future husband. I then learned that Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center was looking to hire a new physician, the thought of returning to Philly excited me, and my husband, also a hand surgeon, had been offered a job in the area as well. So, we moved back to Pennsylvania and we've never looked back. Even when I was a resident I thought it was the “go-to place” for hand surgery and I am proud to be a part of it.It has been a thrill and a pleasure to practice here. I love training and teaching future hand surgeons. My practice remains very exciting and interesting. We see an extraordinary variety of patients here, each with a unique story. It’s wonderful to be a physician and have the opportunity to meet and care for people…it truly is the perfect career.”Impacting OthersI have a very strong commitment to the local community and consider it a great honor to care for family and friends, as well as those connected to my colleagues and former patients. My family and I support several local community organizations and I enjoy presenting community education seminars whenever possible. I also think it is important to give back to the medical community through research and teaching. I maintain my involvement academically, including volunteering as part of medical staff committees at Jefferson Health that focuses on exceptional care and quality outcomes.Awards, Honors & Specialty CertificationsBoard Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon (American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery)Subspecialty Certificate in Surgery of the Hand (formerly CAQ Hand)Top Doctor - Philadelphia magazineTop Physician on the Main Line – Main Line Life MagazineHand Surgeon in top 10% in the Philadelphia Area – U.S. News and World ReportTop Physician in Hand Surgery – Suburban Life / Philadelphia Life MagazineCum Laude Graduate – Harvard UniversityHarvard College Scholarship for Academic Distinction
