I practice general orthopaedics with a strong emphasis on the upper extremity and peripheral nerve entrapment . I have been responsible for statewide improvement in return to work and prevention of being on disability. I lead the nation in the least time off of work, if at all, after upper extremity surgery with only rare residual impairments even for shoulder surgery. I have been doing impairment ratings and IMEs for 38 years. I include supportive references where it seems appropriate.
