Background

My greatest areas of interest are foot and ankle problems, fracture care and general orthopedics.  My training includes:

• Subspecialty fellowship in foot and ankle surgery at Harbor UCLA Medical Center and Balance Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Center.
• 5-year orthopedic residency at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield, Illinois
• Undergraduate and medical degrees from Northwestern University, where I was a member of the six-year Honors Program in Medical Education.  This program allowed me to complete my undergraduate and medical school education in six years instead of the usual eight years.
  
• Mini-fellowship in trauma and fracture care - AO North American Trauma and Fracture Care Travel Preceptorship, Regions Hospital, St. Paul, Minnesota.

​I am one of the primary orthopaedic trauma physicians at Advocate Condell Medical Center, Lake County's only Level 1 trauma center.
I was raised in Mt. Prospect, Illinois and currently reside in Libertyville with my family/
