My personal experiences have been instrumental in bringing my expertise to the medical-legal realm. Truth and honesty have been integral to my life and are reflected in my medical practice, not only with my patients, but with my peers and other health professionals. I have a passion to advocate for the best in medicine, whether assuring patients that they are receiving the best, most appropriate medical treatment, or being the patient's advocate in seeking the care they need, expect, and deserve.
For the past eleven years, I have enjoyed a
busy, successful upper extremity practice in
Norfolk, VA. We have grown from a two-man
practice serving one hospital to a five-man
Regional Hand Center serving five hospitals in
Virginia & North Carolina.
Before moving to Virginia, I practiced at
The Hand Center in Greenville, South Carolina,
where our group instructed orthopedic
residents at Greenville Memorial Hospital, a
Level 1 trauma center.
I have held several leadership positions, including Orthopedic
Surgery Department Chairman and Medical Director of Hand
Therapy. Through my leadership and patient experience, I have perfected the ability to translate the "medical language" to
anyone regardless of their medical knowledge. I have done many dispositions associated with worker's compensation patients
and appeared in court as a treating physician in worker's compensation cases regarding causality. I look forward to
expanding my surgical expertise further into the medical-legal
arena. I will always strive to approach legal matters with the
same compulsory attention to detail, accuracy, and truth that I utilize in my life and practice of orthopedic hand surgery.
