Providing patient-centered shoulder care in Tulsa while advancing shoulder surgery worldwide through research and innovation.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of complex shoulder conditions using the latest evidence-based techniques. My goal is to deliver highly personalized, patient-centered care that relieves pain and fully restores function for patients throughout Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma.
I completed ASES fellowship training at one of the nation’s original and most prestigious shoulder and elbow surgery programs, training directly under Dr. Frederick Matsen III — the surgeon who literally wrote the textbook on shoulder surgery. This training equipped me with advanced muscle-preserving techniques as well as the latest enabling technologies, including robotics and augmented reality, allowing me to achieve superior outcomes with less pain and shorter downtime.
As my patient, you can expect truly individualized care and dedicated long-term follow-up. I am committed to addressing your concerns before, during, and well after your treatment, ensuring you feel supported throughout your entire recovery journey.
Beyond clinical practice, I am actively engaged in shoulder surgery research and the evaluation of emerging technologies. I have published approximately 100 peer reviewed articles in the world's top journals, and regularly give presentations around the country and internationally at the top shoulder and orthopaedic meetings. This work allows me to offer Tulsa patients access to cutting-edge, evidence-based treatments designed to optimize outcomes and minimize downtime.
I am committed to improving shoulder care for patients worldwide. I am actively engaged in developing technology that improves the safety, delivery, and reproducibility for shoulder surgery treatments.
I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of physicians and orthopedic surgeons. In addition to teaching, I am dedicated to educating and receiving education from both my colleagues and patients, with the ultimate goal of improving shoulder care and healthcare delivery throughout Oklahoma and internationally.
