I am an orthopaedic surgeon who cares for people with sarcomas and non-cancerous tumors of the bones and soft tissue. I specialize in removing tumors while preserving limbs (arms and legs). I also have a special interest in treating children who have bone cancers, such as osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma.
I have been at MSK since 1984. During this time, I served as Chief of the Orthopaedic Service for 32 years, treating more of these tumors than any other center in the country. I have also researched the cause of these diseases and have published more scientific articles on the subject than any other surgeon.
When I was in high school, I lost a dear friend to sarcoma. This inspired me to help people with cancers of the musculoskeletal system. Today, I’m proud to be part of a team whose passion is to treat people with these diseases and help them continue to have productive lives.
