I am an orthopedic surgical oncologist treating adult and pediatric patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas. I specialize in limb-preserving resections and reconstruction for bone and soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities. Additionally, I provide surgical management of metastatic and benign bone tumors as well as in the management of benign soft tissue tumors. I have particular interest in both limb salvage and biologic reconstructions in pediatric patients with sarcoma as well as surgical resections in the management of pelvic sarcomas.

Care Philosophy

Sarcoma care is a team sport, utilizing the expertise of a multidisciplinary sarcoma program to bring each patient the best care possible. I seek to treat each patient with care and compassion, formulating treatment and surgical plans that are specific to each patient's needs and functional goals.
