His reach in orthopedics goes beyond just spine surgery, as he is also a member of the Amercian Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons and has earned the Alfred R. Shands Award from the Orthopaedic Research Society and the American Orthoapedic Association, for his contributions to the field of musculoskeletal disease. His contributions also spread across far greater distances than the University of Iowa. He is a corresponding member of orthopedic associations in Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Germany. Throughout his wide array of experiences, the one common factor is the treatment of pediatric patients.
“When I see patients, I feel really comfortable advising parents about what is the best treatment. As parents make decisions about their children’s lives, it gives me a sense of comfort to know I can provide solid advice,” he said in an Iowa City Press-Citizen report. “I love taking care of children because they want to get better. They are not trying to get back to work. They just want to be well. They give you faith in humanity.”
