Provider Expertise

Clinical Interest for Patients

I specialize in the non-operative management of sports and musculoskeletal injuries as well as back and neck pain including interventional spine procedures and electrodiagnostic testing.


Care Philosophy

My passion is solving musculoskeletal mysteries. Finding the correct diagnosis is crucial to developing the correct treatment plan. I partner with my patients to guide them towards a life with less pain and more function and joy. I enjoy leading patients back to their active lives and while I enjoy taking care of the many aging athletes that live in Colorado I take care of many non-athletes, too!
