Practice Philosophy

I pride myself in my treatment plans, particularly exhausting conservative and non-invasive options prior to a surgical approach. As a female medical practitioner and former collegiate runner, I am sensitive to the needs of my patients, having suffered many injuries myself. Virtually all health problems can manifest themselves in the lower extremity, and maintenance of these issues, as well as attention to a healthy lifestyle, are essential to foot and ankle well being.
