My Background
Care Comes First
After years of hard work and strenuous studying, I began practicing as an attending Orthopedic Surgeon in 2012. I spent three years at Detroit Receving Hospital and Sinai Grace Hospital before I left to pursue a spine only private practice at McLaren Macomb.
I live and work in my community. I am raising a cub scout and a soccer player, and I am married to a local teacher. I have a small fishing boat. I am a cancer survivor.
