We offer:
Expertise: Orthopedists with advanced training in foot and ankle problems guide your care. We use the latest techniques to treat a broad range of conditions. Through research, we are optimizing outcomes for complex conditions. Research interests include sports injuries, foot anomalies and diabetic foot complications.
Compassion: Evaluations start by listening to you describe your symptoms. We also ask about your concerns, whether it’s tests, treatments or recovery. We take what you have to say to heart. This information helps us develop a treatment plan that meets your medical needs while honoring your personal preferences.
