My practice is built on the principles of giving expert advice and surgery while providing compassionate care. 

Since 1994, I have offered personalized care tailored to my patient's individual needs. My goal was to provide the very best in diagnostic and surgical care for spine and other orthopaedic conditions. 

My unique approach has established my place in the Modesto community. While we are all subject to the trend in medicine towards large comprehensive organizations, I left Sutter-Gould Clinic in September 2001 to start a solo private practice, so I could provide distinctive and personalized, one-on-one care to my patients.


My office closed in October 2013 after a tragic family emergency.


My office reopened in 2015, on a limited basis, by referral only. My practice involved diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions, particularly the lumbar spine, as well as orthopaedic conditions requiring hospitalization and emergency surgery such as traumatic injuries and bone and joint infections. 


In June 30, 2020, at the height of the pandemic, I closed my office practice to concentrate on in-hospital emergency orthopaedic surgical care. As of August 2021, I have taken a temporary leave of absence from orthopaedic practice. 


I thank all my colleagues and patients for trusting me with their orthopaedic care over the years.
