I am a sports medicine surgeon specializing in injuries of the knee, shoulder, and elbow with a focus in pediatric and adolescent sports medicine. As a North Carolina native and former Duke student athlete, I am motivated to treat patients of all ages and skill levels with a team-based approach to care. My mission is to understand each patient’s individual goals and personalize a treatment plan that fits their life and lifestyle. I perform complex knee surgery, including ACL and meniscus surgery, patellar stabilizations, osteotomies, multi-ligament knee injuries, and cartilage preservation and restoration. I also do complex shoulder surgery, including shoulder stabilization, rotator cuff surgery, and superior capsular reconstruction. For pediatric patients, I have spent additional time training at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, gaining additional education for how to approach injuries specific to children, including growth plate sparing techniques and osteochondral defects. I can’t wait to help you get back to what you love.
My research interest is focused on pediatric sports medicine, female athletes, sports performance, and return-to-play protocols for athletes. My goal is to translate cutting edge research into improving my patients’ outcomes.
