Biography
I am a board-certified podiatric surgeon at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of a broad spectrum of foot and ankle conditions. My clinical expertise includes foot deformities ranging from simple bunions to complex structural abnormalities, as well as plantar fasciitis, hallux valgus, flatfoot, and chronic wounds. I have advanced training in minimally invasive surgical techniques and cutting-edge treatment approaches, which allow for faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and better long-term outcomes.
My practice is focused on innovative surgical care, deformity correction, limb salvage, and wound healing, supported by a strong foundation in preventive strategies. I emphasize proactive treatment not only for patients with chronic or high-risk conditions but also for young athletes and individuals seeking to maintain active, mobile lifestyles across the lifespan. My goal is to help patients preserve long-term function, avoid injury, and achieve their activity goals safely and effectively.
Patients can expect high-quality, compassionate care and honest, clear communication at every stage of treatment. I collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure each patient receives a personalized care plan tailored to their specific needs and goals.
In addition to my clinical work, I serve as an associate clinical professor in the department of orthopaedics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and as residency director for the podiatric medicine and surgery residency program.
