As a fellowship trained foot & ankle surgeon my biggest goal is to provide the best operative and non-operative care for my patients to help them maintain an active way of lifestyle. As a former NCAA All-American collegiate athlete, I have additional special interest in advanced return to sport after injury/surgery and early weight-bearing protocols. I pride myself on treating all my patients like family and being on the forefront of medical treatments for all foot and ankle conditions.
