He specializes in a range of advanced procedures, including robotic total knee replacement, robotic partial knee replacement, and innovative muscle-sparing approaches to total hip replacement, including the anterior approach.
His commitment to precision and patient-centric care led him to be the first surgeon in the Tallahassee area to utilize the MAKO robotic joint replacement system, offering patients a more precise and customized approach based on their own 3D anatomy.
