Patients with osteoarthritis, or any type of arthritis, may benefit from replacement surgery. I also offer partial knee replacement which can be an excellent option for patients with severe arthritis in just one part of their knee. I chose this specialty because so many patients say, “I feel like I got my life back,� after having surgery; there is nothing more thrilling than hearing that. When treating hip and knee arthritis, I think it is critical to exhaust all nonoperative treatments, and then to work with each patient to decide when it’s the right time for them to have surgery. After surgery, I want to help patients get through recovery and rehabilitation as quickly as possible so they can get back to the activities they enjoy.</p> <p><strong>Medical interests</strong></p> <ul> <li>Hip arthroplasty</li> <li>Knee arthroplasty</li> <li>Musculoskeletal trauma</li> <li>Osteoarthritis</li> </ul> <p><strong>Education</strong></p> <ul> <li>Medical School: University of Minnesota Medical School � 2015</li> </ul> <p><strong>Training</strong></p> <ul> <li>Fellowship in Adult Reconstruction of the Hip, Knee and Shoulder: Joint Implant Surgeons � 2021</li> <li>Residency in Orthopaedic Surgery: University of Minnesota � 2020</li> </ul>
