Welcome

This website is intended to provide information for my patients about me, what I specialize in, and where my practice is located.  I am an orthopaedic trauma surgeon in Manchester, New Hampshire.  I provide the full spectrum of orthopaedic surgical care to my patients, but I primarily specialize in adult and pediatric trauma and fracture surgery.  My practice also includes a sub-specialty interest in total shoulder replacements including reverse shoulder arthroplasty.  I practice and take trauma call at the Elliot Hospital, which is an ACS level 2 trauma center in Manchester.  I accept patients from all over New England and beyond for treatment of fractures and trauma-related injuries.  Please contact the office to make an appointment or to have your questions addressed. 

For information on common injuries and conditions please see OrthoInfo.AAOS.org for excellent patient education material.  The information at Orthoinfo is unbiased and generally accurate. 

I have been practicing orthopaedics since 2004 after graduating from the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program where I was the administrative chief resident at MGH in my senior year.  I did a fellowship at Harvard in arthroscopy and sports medicine and shoulder arthroplasty. I practiced in Portland, Maine for 6 years before moving to Manchester, NH to focus on trauma and fracture surgery.  I have consistently been the busiest orthopaedic trauma surgeon in the State of NH performing on average 600 surgeries per year.

I make every effort to treat patients guided by the best possible evidence from modern orthopaedic research and using the best tools available.  I study decision making and cognitive biases and I take numerous precautions to guard against the more problematic biases that influence decisions. In addition I take pride in being able to care for my patients as soon as possible after their injury (often the same day)  minimizing wait times for definitive treatment.
