I chose to be an orthopedic surgeon because it gives me the opportunity to help people address the aches, pains, and injuries that are holding them back from living their best life. I understand the profound impact that musculoskeletal issues can have on a person when they cannot pursue the activities they love. I help patients learn about their diagnosis and the non-surgical and surgical treatment options available to them. I review the risks, benefits, and research for each option with my patients, and then encourage them to choose the path that works best for them. My goal is to help patients get back to the sports, activities, and hobbies they enjoy. There’s nothing better than seeing patients long after their injury and learning about how well they are doing. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy pursuing research that helps us optimize our surgical outcomes. This allows me to contribute to the field and remain on the forefront of new ideas and procedures. I have published on an array of topics throughout orthopedic surgery, including the adoption of new techniques for rotator cuff repairs, medical conditions associated with frozen shoulders, and the cost-effectiveness of reverse shoulder arthroplasty for fractures.

I am a board-certified neurosurgeon focused on brain, spine and peripheral nerve disease. My goal is to restore patients' neurologic function. I'm here to improve their quality of life. An important part of my care is walking patients through the decision-making process. Meeting with a neurosurgeon often involves conversations about difficult diagnoses and complex treatments. Those conversations can be hard to digest. That is why I address patients' concerns clearly, comprehensively and compassionately. I want them to feel comfortable and informed about their care decisions. While I love taking care of all patients, my specific areas of focus are: Peripheral nerve surgery Functional surgery Epilepsy surgery Facial pain These conditions are often chronic and painful. They can make life's activities difficult to enjoy. But with the right surgical approach, patients see life-changing results. My team at Dartmouth Health makes achieving those results possible. We pursue evidence-based, personalized care for patients. Through innovative research and collaborations from the laboratory to the bedside, we advance scientific discovery. Together, we provide world-class care to our community.
