Biography and Care Philosophy

About Me

I am an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in complex knee surgery. My expertise lies in procedures involving ACL tears, meniscus tears, cartilage injuries, patellar instability, osteotomies of the knee, and severe injuries such as knee dislocations or multiligamentous knee injuries. I am dedicated to providing personalized care and using advanced surgical techniques to help my patients recover and regain their mobility.

I myself am an Ohio native and was born and raised in Versailles, OH - about 1 hour north of Dayton. I have relocated my practice from the Campbell Clinic in Memphis, Tennessee in the Fall of 2025 where I previously practiced from 2019-2025, providing care for the Memphis Grizzlies, Memphis Tigers Football, the Memphis Redbirds AAA baseball, and the Memphis Showboats of the UFL. I am a sports enthusiast and enjoy spending time with my wife and young children.

Care Philosophy

My goal is to help all patients get back to their sport, work, or desired activities as effectively as possible. With a focus on evidence-based care, innovation, and patient-centered treatment plans, I strive to make a difference in the lives of those struggling with knee injuries. My approach combines technical expertise and knowledge with compassionate patient care, with my ultimate goal to provide not only the best outcome for each individual, but to try to make the entire patient experience as positive as it can be in the face of the pain and hardship caused by the injury we are treating.
