In 1998, I took the Hippocratic Oath, when I graduated from podiatry school. As I recited, I came across a profound statement, “I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.” I believe that the interpersonal relationships I develop with each of my patient’s is invaluable. My practice is not just in solving problems, but in listening to my patients, their complaints, and their needs and working together to help them move forward. Seeing my patients improve, seeing them sustain mobility, and seeing them find ways to remain active all fulfill my decision to pursue podiatry.
My philosophy as a healthcare provider involves taking the time to educate my patients and empower them to better help themselves through proactivity and prevention. Through educating the future of this profession by working intimately with the residents, I pass on my values with the hopes of mentoring and encouraging better doctors. Teamwork serves as a pillar of my own diagnostic strategy, as I work with other specialties like physical therapy, vascular surgery, and primary care to provide more robust care and cohesive solutions.
I am board certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS) in forefoot surgery. Within podiatry, my interests include limb salvage, wound care, diabetic foot care and prevention, pediatric sports medicine and forefoot surgery.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 children. Most of our days are spent watching them play soccer and lacrosse and coaching lacrosse in the community. I continue to stay active by cycling, walking, and traveling to many corners of the world.
