About Me

I specialize in problems of the foot and ankle, including ankle instability, flat foot deformity, foot and ankle trauma, Ilizarov Techniques of the foot and ankle and post-traumatic reconstruction.

I focus on the foot and ankle and believe that because they are the foundations of the body, it is important that they be healthy. As in a house, if there is a problem with the foundation, other parts of the body can be affected.
