My Practice

I became a doctor because:
I have always wanted to be a doctor since I was in 7th grade. I specifically became an orthopedic surgeon because I was interested in helping people get back to a healthy active lifestyle.

I enjoy taking care of patients at Gwinnett Clinic because:
It is an opportunity to provide a multispecialty approach to the patient care.

I am currently learning more about:
Little League baseball rules for my sons and competitive dancing routines with my daughter

In my community, I enjoy:
