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.
