Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon | Lancaster, Ohio
Why I Chose Orthopedics
Movement is life. I became an orthopedic surgeon because I believe movement is foundational to living well. Whether it’s a grandparent keeping up with grandkids or an athlete returning to sport, nothing is more rewarding than helping patients regain their mobility and independence.
Lasting impact. I chose joint replacement and fracture care because they offer both immediate relief and long-term transformation — and because every patient deserves clarity, honesty, and a surgeon who listens.
How I Approach Care
Clear guidance. My goal is to give patients clear answers, modern treatment options, and a recovery plan that fits their lifestyle.
Modern tools. I believe in using the latest surgical techniques when needed — and conservative care whenever possible.
Personal care. Every decision starts with listening.

Outside the OR
Active living, firsthand. I’m a husband, father of two, and a lifelong cyclist. Whether I’m out for a ride or chasing my kids around the yard, I understand what it means to stay active — and why joint pain shouldn’t get in the way of living your life.
