St. Luke's Podiatry - Tamaqua
St. Luke's Podiatry - Lehighton
As a physician, I believe in making every patient in my practice part of our St. Luke’s family. Going to the doctor is normally not a "fun" experience, but I strive to have every patient leave smiling. I am most proud of my diagnostic abilities; I enjoy diagnosing and managing rare pathologies and providing working solutions for patients who have been unable to find this elsewhere. I am a foot nerd. I have the ability to treat most common and uncommon foot pathologies with a range of conservative and surgical options. I strive to keep patients out of surgery as much as possible, but my surgical toolbox is broad and I can address the myriad of foot and ankle pathologies.
I am a board qualified foot and ankle surgeon and am pursuing full certification in 2022. My specialties within my practice are forefoot and rearfoot pathologies with a concentration in limb salvage and wound care.
Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors and any activity involving water. Most recently my wife and I find ourselves inundated with our young son, who is a ton of fun and thankfully loves the outside as well. My family is an avid SCUBA family. I formally was a dive instructor and whenever possible you will find me under the water. I also enjoy water skiing, snow skiing, hunting, hiking, and kayaking.

“I had a great experience with Dr Newton & the Lehighton staff. Dr Newton didn't just rely on imaging & tests, he listened & upon re-examination discovered the tests were not conclusive. He used critical thinking & clinical measures to diagnose my condition & then fix said problem. I am pain free & do not limp when walking. That result is all because of Dr Newton. I am grateful. He also has the best jokes!”
