“I played competitive soccer at Northwestern University and had multiple orthopedic injuries, five of which required surgery. My father’s influence was undeniable, too, in my decision to enter the field of orthopedics. I also became drawn to learning how the body repairs itself and how I can use this natural ability to heal acute injuries in athletes and reverse degeneration of joints, ligaments, and tendons in active adults. I’m expanding the range of nonsurgical treatments, including arthritis treatment, tennis elbow treatment, golf elbow treatment, rotator cuff tear, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, and tendonitis. I want to give my patients leading-edge treatment options they probably haven’t yet heard of – options that may help them avoid surgery and change their lives.”
