I’m proud to share that since July 2023, I’ve been practicing full-time in the Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation department at Veterinary Referral Associates (VRA) in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

At VRA, I work alongside a talented and compassionate team of specialists to provide advanced, evidence-based care for pets facing orthopedic, neurologic, and mobility-related challenges. My clinical focus includes:

  • Consultations for lameness, chronic pain, limping of unknown origin for dogs and cats
  • Sports medicine evaluations and performance optimization for working and sporting dogs

I incorporate diagnostic testing (radiographs, CT scans, MRI, musculoskeletal ultrasound) to confirm what your pet is dealing with, and then we discuss treatment options which can include rehab modalities like shockwave, laser, etc., and targeted injections such as platelet rich plasma, bone marrow concentrate, hydrogels, and radiosynoviorthesis.

Whether helping an aging pet with arthritis or guiding a service dog through injury recovery, my goal is to restore function, reduce pain, and support each patient’s best possible quality of life.
