About Me
I care deeply about giving each patient a near perfect surgical result as well as lasting durability of their artificial knee or hip. To this end, I use only implants that have the most favorable track records. I also carefully template each and every case weeks ahead of time to ensure that everything one might require is available for the case and that the patient's anatomy and function are optimally restored.

I do not accept payment or "consulting fees" from industry, thus I am able to maintain a high standard of integrity and freedom from corporate bias that is unusual in the Philadelphia marketplace.

He was very understanding, and he gave me advice on what I needed to eat to help me lose weight to get ready for surgery. He is a very good doctor and caring. He made me feel so comfortable about the journey that I'm about to take.
