We have all been rebuilt.

I have been a practicing, ABOS Board-Certified orthopaedic surgeon for over 20 years specializing in sports medicine and arthroscopy and taking trauma call the entire time. I have also had five knee surgeries, two shoulder surgeries and faced professional and personal challenges. We all have been broken either physically, mentally or both. I have been rebuilt (knees, etc) and have had to rebuild and reconstruct myself over time.  My goal now is to focus on the creative spirit I had when I was younger and use my knowledge and talents to assist other physicians and patients to seek personal freedom; whether that be in healing an injury or developing new skills.  I seek to transition away from clinical practice to focus on personal development, fiction and non-fiction writing as well as improving healthcare at the institutional level.
