Brian joined Fox Valley Orthopedics in 2021, partnering with Dr. Minhas to care for patients dealing with hand, wrist, and elbow conditions. As a board-certified physician assistant, he evaluates and treats patients independently in the clinic, manages diagnostic imaging, and serves as a first-assist in surgery. Brian brings a warm, attentive approach to every visit, helping patients understand their treatment options so they can recover comfortably and get back to their daily routines. Outside the office, he loves spending time with his wife, Emily, walking their German Shepherd, Kai, and getting outdoors to bike and golf.
