Special Interests
Clinical Interests
I am interested in diseases and problems of the aging musculoskeletal system particularly arthritis, tendonitis and the aging athlete and the impact of reactive oxygen species and scavenging capacity on those conditions.
I see local and non-local adult patients for orthopedic problems, but only by referral from a National Jewish Health physician.
