About Me
I joined The Permanente Medical Group in Sept 2000, after being on the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania as an Assistant Professor. I like being a part of Kaiser Permanente because I am able to practice medicine without having specific restrictions from insurance companies that may limit particular tests, medications, and hospital stays.
I perform general orthopaedic surgery procedures, such as knee and hip replacements, but have subspecialty training in orthopaedic oncology. This involves the work-up, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of bone and soft-tissue tumors, including both benign (non-cancerous lesions) and malignancy (cancer).
Due to the potential diagnosis of a tumor, many patients and families have a great deal of anxiety related to their condition. I try to care for patients with a simple philosophy of caring for them as if they were a family member. I explain their condition in understandable terms, and take time to answer questions regarding different treatment options.

Disclaimer
If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
