The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics
About
I am a Fellowship-trained Hand and Upper Extremity Surgeon and Peripheral Nerve Surgeon. I have dozens of patients with EDS and other connective tissue disorders linked to hypermobility and over a decade of experience treating EDS. We have on-site hand therapy and physical therapy and coordinate care with our therapists to include bracing, splinting, activity modification and medical/injection therapy as needed. My bias is towards conservative care and working around some of the difficult issues faced by EDS patients by being creative with approaches to functional activities, but perform surgery when necessary, with an understanding that EDS patients need to be rehabbed and treated differently from the general population. I am often in the situation of making the initial diagnosis of EDS in many patients and referring them for a appropriate genetic screening. From a surgical standpoint, I am highly experienced in both arthroscopic and open shoulder stabilization procedures; peripheral nerve decompression in both upper and lower extremities; and complex hand/wrist/elbow reconstruction.
