I am a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with specialized training in sports medicine, focusing on the treatment of a diverse range of orthopedic conditions. Involving the shoulder, knee, elbow and ankle. I completed my undergraduate studies at New York University in New York, NY, before earning my medical degree from Drexel University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, PA. My training includes a general surgery internship at Rutgers—New Jersey Medical School, followed by an orthopedic surgery residency at the same institution. I advanced my expertise further by completing a sports medicine fellowship at Pennsylvania Hospital/University of Pennsylvania, where I honed in on my skills in arthroscopic techniques and sports-related injuries. After completing my fellowship, I contributed to the athletic community as an assistant team physician for the Philadelphia Eagles, Flyers, and Kixx, a men's indoor professional soccer team.
