Retired Knee Surgeon

Before retirement, I was board-certified (ABOS) in orthopedic surgery. I am now an emeritus member of AAOS, AOSSM, AANA, IPSG and ICRS.

In May 2022, I retired from the operative side of my practice that was focused on knee preservation, cartilage restoration and patellofemoral disorders. I then worked as an industry consultant to help with design and monitoring of clinical studies. Effective January 1, 2025, I will fully retire.

“Although I am retired from surgery and consulting, I have not retired from thinking. I still want to utilize my over 30 years of experience to help my prior colleagues and patients on an informal basis (not medical advice).”

In the recent past, I have worked with the following companies:

  • Elute: Data Safety Monitoring Committee

  • Lumiheal: Medical advisory board

  • Medipost Consultant

  • Med Market Consulting

  • Moximed: Design surgeon for product and clinical study of the "knee unloader": MISHA knee system

  • Organogenesis: Consultant

  • Vericel Consultant

  • ZKR Orthopedics Consultant/ Medical Board

I continue to be a member of the Cartilage Research Foundation, which funds focused cartilage research.
