Brandon has been a member of the Hospital for Special Surgery family since 2015. Prior to his role with Dr. Michael Fu, he worked with Dr. Lawrence Gulotta focusing on surgical coordination. His dedication to the patient experience has made him a vital part of the HSS family, being able to put patients coming in for surgery at ease with his professionalism and composure.

Brandon obtained his bachelor’s degree from Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY, majoring in Biology with a minor in Music. During his undergraduate years the appeal of NYC was too great to go back to his small upstate hometown of roughly 400 people. Since moving to New York City in 2014 he has become involved with Hearts and Bones Rescue, fostering many dogs alongside his 4-year-old husky Wolfgang. In his spare time Brandon, along with Wolfgang, trek the Westchester hiking trails, enjoys reading science-fiction, dabbling in learning various instruments, and crocheting as a form of meditation.
