Overview

I was told when I was young that, if you have work that you truly enjoy, you will never feel that you have worked a day in your life. As I shadowed many physicians before entering the medical profession, I realized that they worked very hard with very long hours, but loved every minute of it. Most really felt like they were following a calling, not going to work. Now, I can say I feel the same way. It is wonderful to help someone return to an active lifestyle or to help share their burden when they are injured or very ill. In my practice, I treat every patient with the same respect that I would give a friend or family member. Although I treat all foot and ankle conditions, I have a special interest in complex deformity correction, trauma surgery, wounds and devastating infections and arthroscopic surgery. Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing country and jazz guitar and fly-fishing for trout in western Wisconsin.
