About Myself:

As a physician, my mission is to provide care to every patient the same as I would my own family. Success begins with strong communication in order to put together a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s capabilities and outcome goals. Using evidence based medicine; I take time to formulate an individualized plan exhausting all conservative measures before entertaining any surgical correction.

While I enjoy treating and welcome all adult foot and ankle disorders, I have advanced specialty training in woundcare, hammertoes, bunion correction, arthritis treatment, heel pain, Achilles pain, flatfeet, nerve decompression, sports injuries, ankle stabilization, fractures, biomechanics, arthroscopic and minimal incision techniques, joint replacements, and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery.
