Biography
“I wanted to be a physician since I was very young. I was fascinated by the anatomy of bones, muscles, joints, tendons and nerves. I enjoy the diagnostic process and having the ability to dramatically change a patient’s life. I enjoy the interactions with patients and the fact that so many of the most complex hand and wrist problems are referred to me. “I look at every patient without preconceived impressions or prejudice. I try to relate to each individual. I am from Mason City, so I try to connect with each patient in some way personally. I try to sense their emotional needs and direct my words and actions to help them feel more comfortable. My ultimate goal is affect their lives in a positive way – relieving their pain while improving their function and quality of life.”

Couldn't have asked for better treatment, just wish the results would have been better. BUT with my age, I am ok with that. I am just having to adjust/adapt/deal with that. Thank you.
