Something I have learned from my patients is: that every patient's situation is unique and will benefit from education about their condition and shared decision-making.
I became a physician because: I enjoy helping people on their path to better health. Orthopedics is especially gratifying as the improvements in quality of life are often significant.
If I wasn't a physician, I would be a: snow skiing instructor.
The best things I have done for my own health are: drinking more water and staying active.
One of my personal achievements is: that I was a state champion wrestler in high school.
