My Approach

I try to care for all my young patients the way I would want my own children to be cared for, and I do my best to get to know each patient and understand what matters to them, beyond the orthopedic problem at hand. How well the patient, his or her family, and I get to know each other and work together to make decisions in the office is just as important as the technical details of an operation.

My number-one motivation is the happiness and satisfaction that I see in my patients when I have helped them with a problem and they are back to living life and doing what makes them happy.

I lived in Honduras and managed a primary care clinic for two years before I started medical school. It was a formative time in my life, and I found that I truly enjoy working at the front lines and taking care of patients on a daily basis. Recently, I was able to return to Guatemala on a surgical mission with Operation Rainbow and my colleagues Dr. Rinsky and Dr. Gamble.
