Physician Assistants have 6-7 years of training prior to becoming a PA. Our PAs are experts in the field of orthopedics and orthopedic surgery. They assist me in all aspects of your care, from your pre-operative evaluation to your surgical experience, and finally throughout your follow up care. When you come to our clinic, you will always see me, Annie or Bridget, and frequently several of us.
Some doctors use surgeons in training to assist with, or even do surgery, under their supervision. That is not our model. If we have selected an operative approach to your problem, I will do your surgery, with the assistance of a PA. Annie knew at a young age that she would pursue a career in medicine.

Hands are our extension to the physical world around us. As a hand surgeon, I have extensive training in the treatment of both traumatic injuries and degenerative conditions of the hand and wrist. I am honored to take care of my patients' hands. Even with extensive training and experience as a hand and wrist surgeon, I use non-operative treatment whenever possible.
I am not satisfied until you are.

Half of my fellowship training was directed at the treatment of shoulder injuries. Over the last 10 years my shoulder practice has grown exponentially and entirely by word of mouth. I am proud of this achievement, and the outcomes we are able to attain. In need of a shoulder doctor in Frisco, Vail and Edwards?
We see and treat traumatic orthopedic injuries year round from our active patient population. As an orthopedic surgeon practicing in the mountains near Edwards, Vail and Frisco, I am comfortable treating even the most severe injuries. Orthopedic trauma can include many types of injuries. If you have suffered an injury that requires immediate care, visit our orthopedic trauma offices and get back to doing what you love.
With some injuries our healing potential may be limited by poor blood supply, tissue damage or age. Biologics is a new field of medicine aimed at minimizing the effects of these degenerative processes. Regenerative medicine utilizes the human potential to aid in healing injuries. I take advantage of two biologic processes to assist with recovery in instances where my patients' ability to heal is compromised.
