There are two important things patients should know about me. First is that I am always open for communication. Treating a problem mostly does not happen in an operating room. I personally talk with patients about test results and answer any questions they may have about their condition or surgery. I am generally conservative with surgery. I’ll discuss all non-surgical and surgical options, the risks and benefits of each, and the realistic results they can expect. Then, I offer what I would choose for myself, my brother, my parents, or my own children.

I specialize in any problem below the elbow. My most common procedures are for carpal tunnel syndrome, thumb arthritis, trigger fingers, wrist/hand fractures, and tendon/nerve injuries. I treat infants, children, and adults. My overall approach to a procedure is to stay current with knowledge and research, tailor each procedure to the patient because everyone’s anatomy is singularly specific, and educate patients about the procedure and how to recover afterward. I hope patients find their experience to be personal, compassionate, and timely.

I started practicing in New Jersey in 2007, after completing my surgical training at Brown, Harvard, and Columbia Universities. I am very proud of the teaching honors I have received from Brown University, Columbia University, and Rutgers University. Most of my free time is spent with my family. I cherish being a husband and a father. My work gives me purpose; my family gives me meaning. Life is full.
