Its not uncommon for people to take their feet for granted. We just dont think about them until they have a problem. Thats where I come in. As a doctor of podiatric medicine, I specialize in the care and treatment of injuries and disease of the foot and ankle. I treat patients of all ages. The most common conditions I deal with involve the diabetic foot and wound care. With diabetic foot care, my main goal is amputation prevention. I work directly with Primary care, Endocrinology and other medical and surgical sub-specialties to achieve this goal. I also do a lot of reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, trauma care, and care of sports-related injuries. I like to treat my patients like they are family. Im down to earth and realistic with them about their conditions and how to take care of them. Im a good listener and always try to empathize with what they are going through. And I try always to treat my patients how I would want to be treated.
