I consider it a privilege and a pleasure to work in the medical field. I have found orthopedics to be my calling. I enjoy working with patients and helping them to manage their orthopedic problems. I have been in the medical field for almost 30 years and do not regret a moment of it. I am a native of the Portland, Oregon area. I occasionally take on students who rotate through my clinic. I have given talks at a few different local community events and find volunteer work in the local area to be the most satisfying of all.
