“I am proud to be a part of OrthoNeuro, which I believe is uniquely positioned in Central Ohio to provide not only high quality but comprehensive musculoskeletal care through many sub-specialties. My sub-specialty training in hip and knee preservation, replacement and reconstruction allows me to provide a customized surgical or non-surgical treatment strategy to my patients.
