Orthopedic Surgery; Adult Reconstructive Surgery; Total and Partial Hip and Knee Replacements; Revision Hip and Knee Replacements; Minimally Invasive Surgery
I enjoy caring for patients who have a wide variety of bone, joint and muscle problems and have a special interest in patients who have hip and knee arthritis. My goal is to improve my patients' quality of life by relieving pain and returning them to the highest level of function possible, with a focus on patient-centered care.

I focus on primary total hip and knee replacements, partial knee replacements, minimally invasive surgery and complex revision hip and knee replacements. I have completed additional subspecialty training in Joint Replacement Surgery and had the opportunity to train at the #1 ranked hospital for orthopaedics in the country. Not only do I strive to be an excellent technical surgeon, but I also want to provide my patients with a comfortable environment where they feel that they are truly listened to are treated with care, compassion and respect. I am happy to have the opportunity to return to practice in the Twin Cities, where I grew up, and to be closer to my family. Outside of orthopaedic surgery, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, photography and pilates!
