About
Biography
As a hand and upper extremity surgeon at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I am passionate about helping patients regain function and resume normal activities as quickly as possible.
I have a strong research background that has strengthened my ability to treat upper extremity pathology. Much of my research has focused on topics including upper extremity trauma, scaphoid nonunion and flexor tendon injuries. I have been presenting clinical and biomechanical research at national meetings for many years. I am also a Fellow of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (FAAOS).
I appreciate the commitment to innovation here in The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and the readily available resources that allow me to pursue highly complex research.
