BIO

I am a foreign medical graduate with orthopedic board licenses abroad in India, the UK (GMC), and the UAE. Through my position in academic medicine at the University of Louisville, I train orthopedic residents and am an Associate Director to the residency program. I am currently on the alternate pathway to board eligibility with the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery.

 

I am a general orthopedic surgeon with 25 yrs of surgical experience. I have the ability to perform all trauma surgeries, arthroscopies, reconstruction surgery of shoulder, elbow, hip and knee as well as total joint replacements of shoulder (anatomic and reverse), elbow, hip and knee. 

 

I am passionate about patient health care, shoulder research and orthopedic resident teaching and education.
