My goal is to provide compassionate and comprehensive orthopaedic care to every one of my patients. As a former athlete, I understand the importance of movement and mobility to each person’s physical and mental well-being. It’s gratifying to see patients heal and recover. Whether it means getting back to work, gardening, or competitive sports, my goal is to help patients return to the life they enjoy. I view my patients as partners in their own care. I encourage them to actively participate in creating a treatment plan to achieve their goals.

As a pulmonary and critical care physician, I am passionate about patient care. The healthcare system can be challenging to navigate. Patients often struggle to get answers to their questions. I collaborate with and advocate for my patients, helping them find the information and care they need to meet their goals. I combine my passion for patient care with a deep commitment to improving healthcare systems. In my clinical work and research, I identify new solutions that provide the best care. I am particularly interested in how technology can reduce barriers to care so that patients can get the care they need. My primary research uses data and experiences from past patient care to make future treatments better and more efficient. I lead multiple research and evaluation efforts related to the Veterans Affairs' electronic health record modernization efforts. I am also exploring how artificial intelligence can support and improve patient care. In all my work, I am driven by the desire to provide the highest standard of care. I aim to ensure that patients receive the most informed, up-to-date treatments.
