About me

I’m an orthopedic surgeon specializing in upper extremity and hand care. I help patients with a wide range of conditions involving the muscles, bones, nerves and joints of the arm, wrist, hand and elbow. 

I help patients experiencing pain, numbness, repetitive motion problems and other injuries that can affect their ability to use their arm or hand comfortably.

I completed fellowship training in hand surgery, which included principles from both orthopedics and plastic surgery, giving me a broad perspective on treating complex upper extremity conditions.

I aim to understand your unique concerns and goals so we can create a personalized treatment plan together. Whether your care includes non-surgical options, skilled surgical techniques or a combination of both, I take time to explain your diagnosis and options in clear, easy-to-understand language. I want you to feel confident and informed throughout your care.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Portland’s vibrant food and music scene, cheering on the Trail Blazers and enjoying the outdoors through running, biking, backpacking and skiing.
