“We are committed to offering our patients state-of-
the-art total-joint replacements for hips, knees, and shoulders through small incisions. Using the minimally invasive approach, we reduce damage to skin, muscles, and tendons. The new joint implants are stronger, more comfortable, and last longer. Advances in the surgeries for joint replacement and in those implants’ durability means we can offer the procedures to younger patients whose damaged joints couldn’t be restored with
non-invasive treatment.”

“People, young and old, are the best part of my practice—that affection flows from my own family and friends.
But I am also passionate about the hard science of
musculoskeletal anatomy and the surgical intricacies
that maximize my patients’ form and function. Whether it’s an endoscopic, carpal-tunnel release, a minimally invasive Oxford partial knee, or a total hip through a
3-inch incision, what matters most is patient outcome. Patients deserve time, explanations in everyday
language, and individualized treatment. By sticking to these principles, my work every day is rewarding,
exciting, and fun.”

“Being from Michigan, I am excited to bring my
orthopedic training to the Grand Rapids community. A fellowship in shoulder and elbow surgery has provided me with experience in complex reconstructions and newer advances in the field. These techniques, ranging from arthroscopic repairs to novel implants for arthritis, improve our ability to restore function quickly and
reliably. Just as important, the practice’s established ‘patient first’ philosophy is one which I strongly believe in and will fully embrace.“
