My Professional Interests

My professional interests include advanced arthroscopic surgical treatment of shoulder, knee, elbow, wrist, and ankle injuries, including arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, shoulder instability reconstruction and arthroscopic knee ligament and meniscal repair. I also perform minimally invasive knee & hip replacement surgery using minimal incision techniques. I have served as the Team Orthopedic Surgeon for Serra High School in San Mateo for 17 years and I have been the Team Orthopedic Surgeon for several local Peninsula colleges for the past 18 years.

My Personal Interests & Hobbies

I enjoy any and all outdoor athletic activities including golf, tennis, cycling, swimming and hiking. I am also an avid gardener and scuba diver. I have four wonderful children and a beautiful wife with whom I spend as much time as possible. I particularly enjoy caring for athletes and weekend warriors of all ages and provide the very best care possible to return them to the sports they enjoy.
