Description

My specialty of orthopaedics and hand surgery allows me to treat a wide diversity of conditions and age ranges (from newborn to geriatric) and to make a positive impact in the lives of the people who come to me for care. I bring a wide breadth of knowledge and experience, sound judgment and common sense to the process of choosing the best care for the patient’s condition. After providing a thorough and honest explanation of their condition, I listen to the patient’s goals and concerns, engage their family members in the discussion, and then present all reasonable treatment options and my recommendations. I have a great depth of experience in treating simple and complex hand problems and have been practicing in a tertiary clinical setting for more than 25 years. I do research in and teach about the conditions that I treat. I have experience teaching many of the surgical techniques that I practice to other hand specialists nationally and internationally. I will never recommend surgery that I don't believe will significantly improve the outcome, but I don't hesitate to recommend a non-surgical treatment if I believe it is as good as surgical options. My passion for working with hand and wrist disorders is renewed each time I can help a patient alleviate their pain, restore their functionality and improve their quality of life. Hearing that I’ve helped changed a patient’s life for the better is extremely rewarding, Orthopaedics at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center The Department of Orthopaedics wants to improve your quality of life and get you back to doing the things you enjoy most.
