REVIEW USTowanda, PA
My inspiration for pursuing a career in podiatry was recognizing that poor foot health and foot problems in general decrease quality of life and independence. My goal as a podiatrist is to help my patients avoid foot problems and successfully treat painful or debilitating foot conditions.

In my free time I enjoy training for endurance sports including marathons and full-distance triatholons. I completed Ironman Lake Placid in 2018 and continue to train for future races.
Quality patient care lies in effectively communicating the patient's condition and treatment options. I try to educate my patients on their conditions and the potential treatment options as well as alternatives, risks and benefits. The responsibility for deciding treatment is up to the patient, but it is my responsibility to provide education regarding the condition and treatment options.
As a previous patient at OAA, I understand the approach their providers take in treating painful and debilitating conditions. Emphasis is placed on conservative treatment before surgical treatment, but the end result is improve our patients' quality of life.
