General Info: "Philotimo," a traditional Greek phrase meaning "to give everything of yourself to others." has been my guiding philosophy as a surgeon. I learned this principle in childhood from my parents who emigrated to the United States and worked in hospitality. From a young age, I've enjoyed interacting with individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life. I was also taught to deeply value opportunities to learn, work hard and take care of others. Finally, I appreciate the gratification that comes from perfecting a craft. I've applied these experiences and principles to my practice of medicine to be the most dedicated, hospitable and technically skilled surgeon possible. As a medical student at Dartmouth, I was first introduced to the field of orthopaedic surgery by outstanding teachers and mentors in the Department of Orthopaedics. These individuals demonstrated a work ethic, bedside manner and practical approach to problem-solving that I admired and aspired to emulate. I was similarly impressed by how successful orthopaedic procedures can dramatically improve patients' pain levels, physical function and overall quality of life. These experiences solidified my commitment to dedicating my career to this specialized field of medicine. I think it is incredibly important for patients to have a clear understanding of their condition or injury, how it can affect them, and all of the available treatment options. Equally important is my understanding of each patient's background, treatment goals, and concerns. For these reasons, I spend as much times as needed with patients and their loved ones to achieve these goals so that everyone feels as comfortable as possible with treatment decisions being made.
