Favorite block:
❤️
Ultrasound-guided genicular blocks, because they are an amazing adjunct for postoperative pain control in total knee replacement patients.
What’s one thing you wish someone had told you at the beginning of your career?

How much the climate of medicine was going to evolve.
What is a non-medical hobby you’re passionate about?

Running. I have completed several races and marathons, but I mostly enjoy it as a way to get in touch with nature.
What would be your walk-up song as you enter the lecture hall?

"I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty. He was a fellow Florida Gator, and it is also my 9-year-old's baseball walk-up song!
