Shoulder and knee.Nothing else.
A fellowship-trained sports medicine orthopedic surgeon who operates on two joints. Every procedure page here explains why I choose a technique, what the tradeoffs are, and the evidence behind the recommendation.
Eight core operations
The operations that make up the shoulder and knee practice, each covered in depth. Every other procedure I perform has its own page as well.
Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Reattaching torn tendon to bone through small incisions.
ACL Reconstruction
Rebuilding the torn ligament using your own tendon tissue.
Shoulder Instability Surgery
Repairing the labrum and capsule after recurrent dislocation.
Meniscus Repair
Suturing the torn meniscus rather than removing it.
Knee Cartilage Restoration
Restoring the cartilage surface instead of replacing the joint.
Rotator Cuff Repair with REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant
Adding a collagen implant to induce new tendon tissue.
Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement
Replacing the whole joint surface with robotic alignment.
Robotic-Assisted Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement
Resurfacing only the worn compartment, keeping the rest.
Bring your imaging. We read it together.
If you already have an MRI and a recommendation you are unsure about, bring both. I will walk through what the images show, what the reasonable options are, and where surgeons genuinely disagree — including when the right answer is not to operate.
Two joints, in depth.
I limit my practice to the shoulder and the knee. Narrow scope is the point: the same operations, done often, with a clear view of what works and what does not.
I practice at Maryland Orthopedic Specialists, with offices in Bethesda and Germantown, and see patients from across Montgomery County and the Washington, DC metro.
