I work hard to provide exemplary orthopaedic care for each and every one of my patients. I use the extensive experience and skills that I have acquired from over 30 years of practice, in both teaching hospitals and private practice settings, to diagnose and treat orthopaedic ailments and help patients return to their usual way of life as quickly as possible.

My Practice Philosophy:
I treat every patient with courtesy, kindness and compassion. I personally see and examine each patient during every outpatient visit. I discuss the diagnosis and treatment options and do my best to guide patients in choosing the treatments best suited to their individual needs and preferences. I am careful to avoid the “production-line” and often dismissive approach, which appears to have become the norm with many orthopaedic institutes and large orthopaedic groups. My patients leave their outpatient appointments feeling well-informed and involved in the decision- making process regarding their treatment.
I attempt to treat all my patients by non-surgical methods initially, and only recommend surgery when this becomes the best option.
Whenever surgery does become necessary, I always do my best to operate with great care and thoroughness.
I constantly update my skills and keep abreast of current advances in Orthopaedics by extensive reading, online learning and by attending courses.
