I decided to become a podiatrist because I had many lower extremity injuries growing up playing basketball and found podiatry to be helpful in aiding my recovery. I believe that our lower extremity health is vital to seeing the world and living a fulfilled life. I believe in a team approach with an interdisciplinary collaboration. My goal is to educate my patients with as much information as possible so we can make an appropriate treatment plan together. I enjoy all sports and the outdoors, but most of all spending time with my family, friends, and dogs.
