 “I enjoy joint reconstructive and arthroscopic surgery because they can improve the quality of life for so many of my patients. And as one of the few physicians performing the clinically proven Birmingham Hip Resurfacing procedure in San Diego, I’ve been impressed with how much it has helped my more active patients.”
