As a former gymnast and soccer player, I am personally all too familiar with injuries that sidelined me from my sports. Needing several surgeries and months away from my beloved sports, I was motivated by those experiences to help other young athletes in similar situations. Specializing in youth sports medicine, I can empathize with patients being diagnosed with injuries and how difficult, physically and psychologically, this can be. My goal is to foster a trusting relationship with my patients and their families so we can work as a team to get, and keep, our young athletes playing safely and having fun!
Sports medicine healthcare providers have special training to restore function to injured patients so they can get moving again as soon as possible. They are experts on preventing illness and injury in active people. Learn more >
