What are a few interesting facts that people may not know about you?

I am energized by the people and communities that make up broader Minnesota as well as the Twin Cities area. If I am not with my family and friends, I am outside in nature – often on the lake in Bemidji.

Why did you go into medicine?

I went into medicine to have the opportunity to care for people while advancing the sciences around health and wellness.

 What is your care philosophy?

Treating patients requires listening and a willingness to understand. Being an orthopedic surgeon requires technical expertise, and also the mindfulness to address the wholistic needs of the patient.

My dream practice is built around a compassionate, trustworthy, and diligent team of people working toward a common goal of providing stellar care and service to patients.
