I see a wide variety of patient’s of all ages with both chronic and acute disorders. I evaluate and treat individuals with joint replacement and rotator cuff repairs, acute and chronic spine injuries, neurological disorders, various tendinopathies, fractures, falls, severe deconditioning, and more. I enjoy spending my spare time outside with friends and family, playing sports, and traveling. I have a deep passion for helping others and will do everything within my power to properly serve those underneath my care!

I specialize in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and often prescribe insulin pumps and glucose sensors.  I also specialize in thyroid disorders and perform a lot of thyroid biopsies.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters, jogging, and hiking with my family and our dogs.  I am also a Notre Dame Football fan and watch games whenever possible in the fall.

I am an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine.  Most of my patients are active and are unable to participate in the activities they enjoy.  I treat patients of all ages with shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle pain.  This includes young athletes with ACL injuries, shoulder dislocations, or hip impingement; middle-aged patients with rotator cuff tears or meniscus injuries; and older patients with shoulder arthritis.  I also treat patients with a variety of fractures.  My goal is to ensure that each patient has an excellent experience throughout their care.  My treatment philosophy involves truly listening to each patient and understanding their goals for care.  This allows us to make a joint decision regarding the best treatment, whether that involves surgery or non-surgical options.  I spend most of my free time with my wife and daughter.  I enjoy playing a variety of sports, staying active, and traveling.

It has been my honor to serve Alamance county for more than two decades with Kernodle Clinic.  I grew up in Mebane and chose to return to the community after finishing my residency at the Cleveland Clinic.  Having served in several leadership roles at Alamance Regional, including Chief of Surgery and Chief of Staff, I am proud of the medical advancements our community has made and continues to make.  As a Podiatrist I enjoy the focus of treating all forms of lower extremity pathologies with special interest in surgery including trauma and reconstruction of the foot and ankle.
