It is my experience that shared decision making with patients and families leads to improved outcomes. My job is to be the guide for patients and explain the treatments options, whether that be operative or non-operative. Once all options are known, together we can make a decision and move forward as a team. My goal is to help patients return to their desired activity level and limit the pain they experience in their daily life. It is a very rewarding profession helping patients with their conditions and building relationships along the way."
