Tryon Medical Partners

I am a board-certified dual fellowship-trained sports medicine and hip preservation orthopedic surgeon who specializes in arthroscopic surgery of the hip, shoulder and knee. \n As a hip preservationist, my focuses are arthroscopic treatment of complex hip disorders, including labral tears, femoral-acetabular impingement, focal cartilage injuries, gluteal tendon tears and proximal hamstring tears. I am passionate about treating sports injuries of the knee and shoulder for both adolescents and adults, specializing in meniscus and labrum repair, ligament reconstruction, tendon repair and treatment of focal cartilage injuries. My goal is to offer a superior level of fracture care, including management of traumatic orthopedic injuries. \n I am currently serving as a team physician for the Charlotte checkers as well as local high schools, with previous experience taking care of Duke University and North Carolina Central University Athletics. This, along with my background in ice hockey and long-distance running, helps me connect with the patient's drive to return to sports as quickly as possible while maintaining an active lifestyle. I'm excited to bring a high level of comprehensive care for athletic injuries of the hip, shoulder and knee to Charlotte and surrounding communities. \n In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my wife and kids. If we are not at a park or the swimming pool, we are probably bringing chaos to the running/hiking trails where we live in south Charlotte.
