Patients Seen: All Ages

I love my patients and love what I can do for them. I have a full arma­men­tar­i­um, what I call my ​“bag of tricks” (also know as gad­gets and giz­mos, many of which I make myself) that pro­vide com­fort and relief of pain caused by many com­mon con­di­tions of the foot and ankle. Some con­di­tions may require sur­gi­cal inter­ven­tion in which my skills are excep­tion­al but are reserved for those cas­es where con­ser­v­a­tive treat­ment is imprac­ti­cal or has failed.
