“Change is inevitable” — this is the motto that drives me. The current standard of care will be an outdated concept in future. Just as anything else in medicine, we continue to evolve, especially in our field of orthopaedic surgery, to better diagnose and treat various ailments that cripple our patients, thereby increasing their productivity and quality of life. We as an organization and me, personally, take pride in positioning ourselves at the forefront of this process of evolving into better health care providers while critically evaluating the value of the new treatments and also training future surgeons to have a solid base to launch further in the advancement of the field. The main focus of my practice is patient care and improving outcomes by innovation, while also educating future surgeons.
I feel proud and privileged to be associated with an organization such as UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine that places me in the position and provides me the tools to achieve the goals I strive for.
