“As a specialist in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery, my goal is to help people of all ages stay healthy and active. Most conditions can be successfully treated without surgery. However, when surgery is indicated, many of the procedures I perform are done arthroscopically through small incisions. With these techniques, patients recover as quickly as possible.”
I received my undergraduate degree from Tufts University where I was a member of the football team. I subsequently obtained my medical degree with honors from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio and completed my orthopaedic surgery residency at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago. I concluded my training at the University of Rochester with a sports medicine fellowship focused on the treatment of knee and shoulder conditions. Currently, I am involved in teaching other orthopaedic surgeons advanced arthroscopic techniques at the Orthopaedic Learning Center in Chicago. In November 2007, I was in the first group of physicians in the country to earn the subspecialty certificate in orthopaedic sports medicine. I am board certified in orthopaedic surgery.
My special interests include ACL and meniscus tears in the knee, as well as shoulder labral tears and rotator cuff problems. I am a member of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. I am the team physician for Whitefish Bay High School and in 2009, I was a winner of Milwaukee’s The Business Journal “Forty under 40” award.
