Specializing in comprehensive shoulder, and arthroscopic shoulder, knee, and elbow surgery; sports medicine. My goal is to provide you with the highest quality specialty orthopedic care available. I am committed to utilizing the most advanced standards and technologies to help you achieve the best outcome possible. Since completing my surgical residency and the additional subspecialty training of an arthroscopic surgery and sports medicine fellowship, I have remained actively involved in continuing medical education, research, and the development of advanced surgical technique. In 2007 I developed a revolutionary less-invasive technique for repairing massive rotator cuff tears that is less traumatic, reduces operating time and encourages faster recovery. In 2009 I invented and co-developed the world's first all-arthroscopic biceps tenodesis technique and system. These techniques are now being adapted by other orthopedic surgeons throughout the world. Since 2009, groups of international shoulder surgeons from Europe and Asia have traveled to Rockford to observe my practice and learn my advance arthroscopic surgical techniques. I have been honored with invitations to lecture at national and international conferences and I have authored numerous textbook chapters. My interest in research and continuing education has also resulted in an extensive number of papers on knee and shoulder surgery that have been accepted for print in peer reviewed publications.
