View this physician on UBMDProfessional Summary:
My clinical expertise focuses on disorders of the foot and ankle and the lower extremity. I treat a wide variety of problems such as bunions, forefoot deformities, foot and ankle arthritis, trauma, post traumatic and congenital deformities. I gained years of experience as a general orthopedist in the US Air Force. More recently I have combined this with additional specialty training in the foot and ankle and I‘ve been able to develop a whole body approach to foot and ankle pain.
