My practice philosophy is to treat every patient on an individualized basis and to develop a personalized treatment plan that is in the best interest for each patient. I will never push surgery and will exhaust non-surgical treatment options prior to recommending surgery for most conditions. I also enjoy spending time educating patients about their condition and taking the time to make sure they have all their questions answered.
I am originally from Cold Spring, Minnesota. I am happy to be in Minnesota and taking care of a community similar to the one I grew up in. I enjoy spending time with my wife and young daughter. I also love the outdoors and enjoy hiking, running, boating, fishing, basketball, golf, downhill skiing and snowboarding.
