Brief Intro

My primary aim, as a dedicated podiatrist focusing on foot and ankle health, is to help my patients achieve comfortable mobility. I believe in fostering strong relationships founded on clear communication, trust, and respect and ensuring that we work together toward the shared goal of optimal health. I am passionate about patient education and collaborating closely with each individual to find the most effective treatment strategies that align with their pathology and unique lifestyles. I am a surgical podiatrist at St. Luke’s University Health Network, providing comprehensive care for various lower extremity issues in outpatient and inpatient settings. My approach emphasizes non-surgical treatments and conservative modalities whenever possible, but I am also proficient in advanced surgical techniques when necessary. My surgical expertise includes both elective and emergency procedures. Surgeries I perform range from reconstructive foot and ankle surgeries like hammertoe and bunion corrections, flatfoot corrections and joint fusions to soft tissue surgeries such as nerve decompression, tendon repairs and lengthening. I also manage operative and non-operative fractures. I perform various office-based procedures, including treatments for ingrown toenails and joint injections for arthritis. I am a board-qualified foot and ankle surgeon. My specialties within podiatry include conservative and surgical treatments for forefoot and rearfoot pathologies, with a strong focus on wound care, limb salvage and fracture management. Outside work, I have several interests that keep me engaged and balanced. I enjoy baking, especially desserts; gardening, which enables me to be outside and watercolor painting, which allows me to express my creativity. I value staying active and often hike to explore new trails and appreciate nature. Family time is my top priority, whether we are enjoying a meal, participating in outdoor activities or simply relaxing at home.
