As an orthopedic surgeon, one of the most rewarding parts of my work is not only caring for my patients but also investing in the next generation of physicians. Mentorship and education are incredibly important to me. I was fortunate to learn from outstanding mentors, and I believe it is my responsibility to pass that same guidance forward to those entering the medical field.
Recently, I had the privilege of training a fourth-year medical student during her orthopedic rotation. Experiences like these remind me of the importance of sharing knowledge, teaching with patience, and modeling the compassionate, patient-centered care that defines my practice. The lessons I share with future physicians will go on to impact countless patients for years to come.
At Star Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, we believe in caring for our patients today while shaping the future of medicine. By mentoring and supporting future physicians, we not only strengthen our field but also give back to the community that has trusted us for so many years.
If you are experiencing hip or knee pain, my team and I would be honored to partner with you on your journey to recovery. Together, let’s work toward restoring mobility, health, and quality of life.
