With over 35 years in private and academic practice and 21 years dedicated solely to knee surgery, I’ve had the privilege of speaking, teaching, consulting, and developing patents, procedures, and innovative techniques.
Now, I bring this experience to patients, professionals, and industry leaders seeking expert guidance in knee surgery, rehabilitation, legal defense, and medical innovation.
Second Opinions & Knee Questions
Making the right decision about knee treatment—whether surgical or non-surgical—can be overwhelming. With decades of experience in complex knee procedures, cutting-edge techniques, and patient recovery strategies, I provide independent, expert second opinions for patients and professionals looking for clarity on diagnosis, treatment options, or surgical outcomes.
Whether you’re considering a knee replacement, resurfacing, evaluating a prior surgery, or seeking guidance on treatment options, I offer personalized insights to help you make an informed decision. (see disclaimer)
Rehabilitation & Recovery Consulting
Recovery is not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Over the years, I’ve seen both outstanding rehabilitation outcomes and preventable setbacks—which is why I’ve developed a hybrid recovery approach that maximizes success.
Patients often hear mixed messages about physical therapy and post-surgical rehab—some experience remarkable improvements, while others struggle with pain, complications, or regression. My approach integrates patient self-awareness, science-backed protocols, and
real-world experience to help predict and guide a smooth, successful recovery process.
Legal Consulting-Defending Orthopaedic Surgeons
The reality of being a seasoned orthopedic surgeon is that lawsuits are inevitable. I’ve seen firsthand how medical records can be twisted or misrepresented in legal cases. I’ve also witnessed talented, ethical orthopaedic professionals stand up against frivolous claims.
While many surgeons take on legal consulting as a side business, I do not- BUT I choose to engage in very selective, knee-related defense cases where my expertise can bring clarity, fairness, and truth to the legal process. My focus is on protecting fellow surgeons from unjust
claims by offering thorough, evidence-based case reviews and expert testimony, I take this responsibility seriously, dedicating the necessary time to truly dissect and defend cases with integrity and precision.
Industry Consulting-Driving Medical Innovation
This is where I thrive. Medical advancements don’t happen in isolation—the industry needs physicians to bridge the gap between engineering, investment, and real-world patient care.
I’ve spent my career collaborating with scientists, engineers, and industry leaders to improve the design, functionality, and success of orthopaedic implants and procedures. I know firsthand that without surgeons providing real-world input, medical innovations would never reach patients.
As a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) in orthopaedics and the neutriceutical space, I provide strategic consulting, product development insights, and hands-on expertise to ensure that industry advancements lead to real, meaningful improvements in patient outcomes.
