Philosophy

Hip and knee replacement are two of the most successful surgeries created, which predictably restore motion, movement and alleviate pain. I am grateful to be able to perform first time and revision hip and knee replacements and improve the lives of my patients day in and day out. My approach to patient care and my practice is based on three cornerstones: individualized care, education and teamwork.

Each patient may have a different set of needs and personal circumstances when they come to my office for evaluation of their hip or knee pain. It is important to understand each patient’s expectations, especially return of function and activity level. I try to talk to each patient about what specific aspects of their life will help improve their mobility and decrease their pain. Many of these discussions focus on simple non-operative measures that can be done before surgery that will optimize a successful outcome after joint replacement.

Knowledge is power. Educating patients, residents, fellows, team members and myself each and every day drives engagement, participation and better outcomes for our patients. Training young surgeons gives me great joy, is our duty and is paramount for the future of Orthopedic surgery. Being diligently involved in educating residents and fellows encourages an environment of perpetual learning, curiosity and innovations. These trainees keep us on our toes and constantly challenge our knowledge on the most cutting-edge research and treatment strategies within Orthopedics. This can ultimately translate into improved care pathways and better patient outcomes.

Developing, nourishing and maintaining a cohesive team are critical to our patients’ experience. Each and every person on our hip and knee replacement team pledges to give our patients the highest level of compassion and care. We at UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine have established a team-based model that focuses on collaborative efforts to achieve a common goal in the most effective and efficient manner. Excellence in patient care.

Bio

I was born and raised in Washington, D.C., but Western New York is no stranger to me. I completed my Orthopaedic Surgery residency at the University at Buffalo’s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences where I served as Chief Administrative Resident. Then, I made the move to New York City to complete my adult joint replacement and reconstruction fellowship at the Hospital for Special Surgery. There I became the Chief Fellow.

I am proud to have received various awards including the Kenneth A. Krackow Award for Outstanding Research and Clinician Scientist, the Peter A. Casagrande Award for Outstanding Performance in Orthopaedic Surgery as well as the Philip D. Wilson Award for Outstanding Research in Orthopedics at Hospital for Special Surgery. I am an active member of the American Academy of Hip and Knee Surgeons and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and have served on the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement committee.

Research is something that helps to drive my practice and helps me find better outcomes for my patients. My main interests include: periprosthetic joint infection (infection that occurs after hip and knee replacement), value-based care, care pathway development and the business of orthopaedics. In my free time, I enjoy mentoring young surgeons, especially women in career development in medicine and surgery.

There are three main reasons why I pursued the field of joint replacement within Orthopaedics. The first being movement; movement is vital to our health, well-being, sustainability and resilience as humans. I also think that alleviation of pain is a cornerstone of joint replacement. Hip and knee arthritis can cause debilitating pain and loss of function. We have many non-operative options to help mitigate hip and knee pain. From the surgical side, modern hip and knee replacements can alleviate pain and restore function. Lastly, there is the element of intellectual and physical challenges. Total hip and total knee replacements are increasing at an exponential rate in the United States. Although this is a wonderful fact, this translates into an extraordinary increase in the amount of revision hip and knee replacements that will need to be done in the future. These can be exquisitely complex and challenging procedures, which require a surgeon who is knowledgeable, skillful, dynamic and has an expert multidisciplinary team. I welcome and encourage taking on these challenging procedures.
