As an orthopedic surgeon, I treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis and other degenerative diseases that affect our joints. Among other things, I also care for traumatic injuries which may result from accidents and falls. Also, I am involved in research and educating the network’s residents and medical students.
I graduated from Georgetown University School of Medicine. I completed an orthopedic surgery residency at the former St. Vincent’s Hospital and Medical Center in New York City. Before joining St. Luke’s Orthopedic Care, I finished an orthopedic trauma surgery fellowship at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia.
I am board-certified and specialize in treating traumatic injuries and hip and knee replacements. The use of technology-assisted devices and muscle sparing approaches like an anterior approach to the hip assist me in precisely replacing joints with minimal harm to surrounding tissue. Technology aids me in attaining …less blood loss, fewer complications during surgery, reduced risk of infection, minor scars, and quicker recovery.
In 2011, I joined St. Luke’s International Surgical Studies Program allowing me to work with, educate and learn from the staff at Mbingo Baptist Hospital in Cameroon, Africa. To this present day, I have continued to bring health equity with my works in Sub-Saharan Africa through my partnerships in Ghana.
While I mainly grew up in Queens, New York, my parents are from Nigeria. They continue to be an integral part of my life as a surgeon, a husband, and a father of two young boys.
