Running injuries can be some of the most frustrating challenges to overcome—especially when all you want to do is get back out there and compete.

I saw that drive firsthand at the Spring Shake Out in Georgetown this past weekend. Supporting local track events like this is always a highlight for me and being around athletes at every level is a reminder of how important it is to stay healthy, recover properly, and perform at your best.

If you’ve been in clinic lately, you’ve probably met Andrew, my new PA. He’s got extensive orthopedic experience, loves being in the OR, and is just as dedicated to taking care of patients in clinic. Fun fact: we’re both married to healthcare workers and both have young kids at home… there’s never a dull moment around here! Excited to have Andrew on my team.

People as young as 50 can need a hip replacement. Here's everything you need to know about this common surgery.

I’m proud to have recently earned my ABOS Sports Medicine Subspecialty Certification, a distinction held by fewer than 3,000 surgeons over the past 20 years.

I take great pride in providing elite care to athletes and active individuals in the greater Austin community!
