Welcome to my Website!
 Life is Movement – Movement is Life! While this is true for everyone, it is especially true for athletes. My aim is to provide the highest quality patient care, improve mobility, enhance the quality of life for all my patients, and to advance the science of orthopedic surgery through research and education. I specialize in sports related issues and injuries of the lower extremities. Our approach is ‘Integrative’, drawing upon multiple medical and holistic disciplines, providing you with a comprehensive solution and state of the art options for your treatment and recovery.
My practice is based in New York's Hospital for Special Surgery (www.hss.edu).
The Hospital for Special Surgery is the oldest orthopedic hospital in the United
States, presently ranked as the #1 Orthopedic Hospital in the U.S.A.
Our interactive multimedia option is highly informative and designed to help you
understand very specifically – the exact nature of your injury and situation.
Please bear in mind that the information on our website is provided to support
and reinforce the advice you receive from your own doctors. It is not intended
to replace discussions with your doctor. That being said, I hope you find my
website both informative and helpful.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me ...
