Any true feelings of why you are a doctor and why you deserve a patient's trust to care for them?

I love what I do and love taking care of my patients. Nothing makes me happier than when a patient can walk out of my office pain-free. With the extensive surgical and clinical training that I have had, my goal is to provide my patients with the most up-to-date and progressive treatment possible for their foot and ankle needs. By using the knowledge and skills gained through my training and experience, I aim to be a highly-proficient surgeon and caregiver, a strong patient advocate, and a promoter of podiatric medicine in the community.
