About Me
I've always been drawn to a career where I could make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Podiatric medicine appealed to me because it combines problem-solving, surgery and the opportunity to build lasting relationships with patients. Whether helping someone walk without pain, return to a favorite activity or improve their quality of life, it's incredibly rewarding to see the impact that foot and ankle health has on overall well-being.
What I find most rewarding is helping my patients achieve their goals. During my residency at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, a Level I Trauma Center, I received extensive training in both surgical and non-surgical treatment of foot and ankle conditions. My clinical interests include sports injuries, trauma, reconstructive surgery, diabetic limb preservation and the treatment of chronic foot and ankle pain.
I believe every patient deserves an individualized treatment plan, and I am passionate about educating my patients, so they understand their condition and feel confident making decisions about their care.
One of the most impactful lessons I've learned during training is that listening is just as important as treating. Some of the most meaningful moments have come from caring for patients who have been living with pain for years without feeling heard. Taking the time to understand their concerns, explain their diagnosis and involve them in their treatment plan can make as much of a difference as any procedure or medication. These experiences have shaped the way I practice medicine — with empathy, communication and commitment.
Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, working out, playing and watching sports, biking and hiking. I also enjoy exploring new places and trying different restaurants.
I believe every patient deserves an individualized treatment plan.
