I am a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with fellowship training in hand and upper extremity surgery. My clinical focus is on acute and chronic injuries of the upper extremity, including compression neuropathies, hand and wrist fractures, soft tissue injuries, hand and wrist arthritis, and tendinopathies. I also surgically treat skin cancers and collaborate with my surgical oncology colleagues to perform general reconstructive surgery for cutaneous malignancies and sarcoma treatment.
