“My interest in orthopedics and sports medicine stems from my experience as a patient. I sustained several injuries that would have ended my athletic career, but I was able to return to playing after I received great orthopedic care. I then decided that I wanted to dedicate my career to relieving patients' pain, improving function, and helping people get back to the activities they love. Orthopedic sports medicine is a unique field in that it applies to patients of all ages. I am passionate about working with patients of every age, from those in their prime to the weekend warrior and beyond. Choosing Riverview Health was all about fit. Riverview offers all of the resources of a much larger hospital system while retaining a smaller community feel. At Riverview Health, physicians have a vested interest in their practices, which allows them to provide care in the best interest of patients.”
