What makes you excited to serve as a part of Fast Pace’s work in your area?

I’m excited to serve my Fast Pace communities by providing the highest level of care that is conservative in nature allowing people the ability to live their lives to their fullest potential. Additionally, I am passionate to provide the underserved communities that I work in to be able to have access to these resources they may not otherwise have.

What do you want families to know when they place their trust in you for their care?

Patients can know that they can trust the care I provide to do everything possible to keep them off the operating table. There is a stigma among orthopedic providers that many want to go straight to the operating room. I believe that typically the conservative measures are the measures that will provide them the best chance to stay away from an operation and live a healthy life.

What is Orthopaedics?

Orthopedics is a medical specialty focusing on the diagnosis, correction, prevention and treatment of patients with disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves. These parts of the body make up the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedics is available for scheduled in-person appointments. Hours vary by provider. Please contact us to find available times.

When should I heat an injury?

Heat is generally used for muscle pain or stiffness. Never apply heat when swelling or inflammation is present. Minor stiffness or tension can usually be relieved after 15 to 20 minutes of direct heat, such as a heating pad.

When should I ice an injury?

Generally, ice should be used within the first 24-48 hours of an injury to reduce swelling and pain. Orthopedics is available for scheduled in-person appointments. Hours vary by provider.
