“My health care career started in orthopedics as a nurse assistant. I have always loved this special niche of osteoporosis and bone health. I enjoy the opportunity to educate my patients about their bone health and risk for fractures. I believe our Musculoskeletal Institute Fracture Prevention Program improves patient outcomes and improves their quality of life. But most of all, I cherish the relationships I get to build with my patients, their families and my co-workers.”
