ABOUT ME The physician who treats the whole system.

Board-certified orthopedic surgeon with advanced training in nutrition and performance medicine. I believe the body heals best when you address both its structure and its fuel.

I came to orthopedic surgery because I was fascinated by the mechanical elegance of the musculoskeletal system — how tendons anchor force, how joints distribute load, how bone remodels itself in response to stress.

But early in my career, I kept seeing the same pattern: patients recovering from surgery at wildly different rates, despite similar surgeries. The difference wasn't technique — it was metabolic health, inflammatory load, and nutritional status.

That realization started my focus on the science of nutrition, metabolism, and performance medicine. I studied protein synthesis, collagen remodeling, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and the role of metabolic health in tissue repair.

Today, every patient I see gets both: the surgical precision they came for, and a clear nutritional framework to support their recovery and long-term resilience. It's not a separate service — it's the standard of care I believe every patient deserves.

My approach is rooted in evidence, not trend. I don't follow fads. I follow the data — and I explain it to you in plain language so you can make informed decisions about your own health.

“The body doesn’t separate structure from fuel. Neither do I.”

Whether you have a specific orthopedic concern or want to build a long-term performance plan, I'd like to hear from you.
