Clinical approach

Every patient deserves the same care they would receive at the world's best centers.

My practice is focused exclusively on the knee and hip, with particular expertise in knee surgery: primary and revision knee replacement, robotic-assisted surgery, and ligament reconstruction. For every patient I build a path grounded in accurate diagnosis, an honest assessment of non-surgical options and, when surgery is the right answer, fully personalized planning.

Training in the United States and Canada - Hospital for Special Surgery, University of Toronto, Stanford - gave me the tools, protocols and mindset I bring back here, close to where you live.

What I treat

Surgical specialties.

Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee Replacement Surgery

Primary and revision knee replacement with 3D planning and robotic assistance when indicated, for personalized alignment and precise ligament balancing.

Knee Sports Surgery

Knee Sports Surgery

ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair, cartilage restoration. Structured return-to-sport protocols.

Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement

Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement

Direct anterior approach and minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery, less pain and an earlier return to activity.

Surgery is not the starting point; it is one option. When it is needed, it must be precise, planned, and tailored to the individual patient.

Knee specialist

Knee surgery is the core of my clinical practice, from sports injuries to robotic knee replacement.

International standards

Clinical protocols and surgical techniques from leading orthopedic centers in the U.S. and Canada.

Evidence-based practice

Every clinical decision is grounded in current literature and in my own peer-reviewed research.

Patient-first care

Time, listening, and second opinions. You are at the center of every treatment plan.
