I believe in taking the time to help patients understand the reason their foot and ankle problem exists, the treatments available, expected results of the treatments, and their overall prognosis. Outside of specific traumatic injuries, I believe in exhausting conservative treatment options before taking a patient to the operating room. I enjoy the clinical and surgical aspects of podiatry with my ultimate goal for all patients to return to their previous level of activity.
