Training and experience
I completed the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program in 2004, where I served as administrative chief resident at Massachusetts General Hospital during my final year, followed by a fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital focusing on arthroscopy, fracture surgery, and shoulder arthroplasty. I practiced in Portland, Maine before joining Elliot Hospital in 2010, where I have served as Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery since 2014. Over two decades I've performed more than 13,000 surgeries and treated many thousands of patients — experience that has shaped how I think about risk, uncertainty, and how to optimize surgical outcomes.
Orthopaedic trauma and fracture surgery
I treat a wide range of orthopaedic trauma, including pelvic and acetabular fractures, complex pediatric injuries, fracture non-unions, and hand trauma requiring specialized repair. I also see a high volume of the more common injuries — broken wrists, hip fractures, shoulder fractures, ankle injuries, and tendon ruptures.
Evidence-based, patient-centered care
I combine the best available research with careful clinical judgment to guide treatment decisions. My approach is shaped by ongoing study of medical knowledge itself — its limits, its uncertainties, and how we can reason well despite incomplete information. This includes attention to the cognitive biases that affect clinical thinking and how to guard against them.
My commitment to transparency
I have never accepted consulting fees, royalties, or financial payments from medical device companies, and I never will. I believe avoiding these entanglements is the clearest way to preserve trust and keep treatment decisions where they belong — between surgeon and patient, guided by evidence and judgment alone.
