About Me

I am a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon. I specialize in total and partial knee and hip replacement. In addition to treating arthritis and bone trauma, I’m experienced in a full range of joint replacement options, including revision surgery for previous joint replacements and treatment of fractures near an existing implant. I’m also skilled in robotic-assisted surgery and help each patient understand their options so they can make informed decisions about the treatment that’s right for them.

Orthopaedic surgery and joint replacement can make a big difference in a person's daily life. My goal is to help patients move freely again and regain their quality of life. Central Pennsylvania is more than where I practice – it's where I grew up, went to college and trained to become a doctor. That connection to the community is one of the reasons I’m committed to providing the best possible care to the people who live here.
