Born in Wilkes-Barre, I attended King's College, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. I later received my Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine in 1991.
I completed surgical training focused on the foot and ankle at Coast Plaza Doctor's Hospital in Norwalk, California, where I gained expertise in foot and ankle surgery and wound management, as well as arthroscopic and endoscopic surgical techniques.
I have a strong interest in second opinions and revisional surgery. I have also maintained my expertise in foot and ankle pathology and have been closely involved with the medical and surgical education of podiatric surgical residents at St. Luke’s University Hospital. I have also served as invited faculty to lecture on foot and ankle surgery with regard to the use of medical devices in foot and ankle reconstruction, in addition to serving as expert faculty for skilled lab workshops.
As part of my commitment to providing quality health care to patients, I routinely attend seminars dealing with the latest developments in foot and ankle surgery. I have been practicing podiatric medicine and surgery for over twenty-three years.
I am Board Certified in Foot Surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery, and recently passed the recertification process for the second time. Additionally, I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Foot and ankle Surgeons and a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.
