About Me

I have been working at Orthopaedic Associates - Salisbury for 10 years. I have a Bachelors Degree in Biology from North Carolina State and Masters of PA studies from Methodist University. We provide a variety of services at our office: total joint replacement, arthroscopy for shoulder and knee, cortisone and visco supplementation, fracture care. I enjoy splitting my time between the office and surgery. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending my time outdoors and with my wife Amy, and our two daughters, Bree and Laina.

March 30, 2020ALWAYS nice and professional. Goes to great lengths to explain everything to me. I trust them completely.
March 28, 2020I have gone to other Orthopedic practices and have not had good experiences. Most of the time the doctor did not listen to me or my concerns. When I was referred to this practice I found people who listen to me and paid attention to what I was telling them. The missed meniscus tear was found because they listened to what I was saying about my pain and did something about it. I am very grateful for their help.
