My Approach to Treating Patients
I believe that well-informed patients make the best choices about their treatment. For this reason, I educate my patients about their treatment options. I explain each step of the diagnostic process and treatment plan in language that is easy to understand. I present a matter of fact view point on what results can be expected, as well as the risks, benefits and alternatives to any treatment offered. My approach is to tailor treatment plans to the expectations and lifestyle needs of my patients.

I believe that many orthopedic problems can be managed conservatively through such treatments as physical therapy, medications and injections. But when surgery is necessary, rest assured that I use state-of-the-art techniques. My goal is to offer you the highest quality orthopedic care in the Bay Area.

Although I consider myself a general orthopedist, my specialty is treatment of the shoulder and knee. My practice encompasses a vast range of patients, from the athletes of all ages and levels, to patients with degenerative joint conditions needing joint replacement surgery of the knee or shoulder. My expertise is in arthroscopic techniques, rotator cuff repairs, knee ligament reconstruction and joint replacement surgery. I was one of the first surgeons in the Bay Area to utilize minimally invasive total replacement surgery for the knee and I have found that this state-of-the-art treatment allows me to help my patients most effectively return to their optimal level of function.

Most simply stated, my goal is to offer my patients the same level of care that I would expect my own family to receive.
