Overview
One of my earliest memories was seeing my podiatrist as a young child. My doctor was caring, funny, and willing to spend time explaining to a very curious and sometimes scared child why needed custom orthotics was necessary for my painful feet. It was a wonderful relationship that I still cherish and why I feel very honored to now be on the other end of that relationship and able to provide care to my patients. Much of my decision-making is driven not only by my role as a healthcare provider but also by my experiences as a patient. I have a special interest in the treatment pathways for heel pain, ingrown nails and forefoot deformities such as bunions and hammertoes. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my family, scouting out new restaurants, and trying to brew the perfect cup of coffee.

Central Carolina Foot And Ankle
I am a foot and ankle specialist treating various ailments and foot-related problems. My approach to medicine is shaped by my personal experience with foot problems since childhood. I was very active growing up and played sports through high school and college while struggling with foot pain. Becoming a podiatric surgeon has afforded me the opportunity to treat and alleviate patients' foot-related problems with an emphasis on quality of life. I believe in conservative care as the gateway to restoring foot health but also offer surgical options to achieve the ultimate goal of symptom relief. While I treat multiple issues related to the foot, I have a special interest in wound care and emphasize the importance of limb salvage for my high-risk patients. My approach is multifaceted, often incorporating other medical specialties to create a comprehensive treatment plan for my patients. On a personal note, I'm interested in health and fitness, writing, and retro gaming. Above all, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids and look forward to our yearly trip to visit my wife's family in southern Spain.
