About Me

As a Certified Nurse Practitioner in the Podiatry Department, I specialize in diabetic foot exams as well as toenail trimming and callus debridement. I assist patients with general foot care and focus on preventative measures to reduce their risk for foot complications related to diabetes. Educating the patient is an important part of what I do as I have been a nurse for over 25 years. Empowering the patient to be an active part of their care is very important to me.

I can manage and treat foot issues such as Fungal toenails, Athletes foot, neuropathy and pre-ulcerative lesions. I can provide prescriptions for Diabetic shoes and custom orthotics and refer patients with more complicated issues such as foot wounds, deformities, infections, or significant pain to our team of Physicians.

I chose to come to Ohio State because of its excellent reputation and collaborative environment. I enjoy working with a great team of professionals dedicated to providing the best patient care at a medical center that offers an abundance of resources to make it all possible.

When I’m not working I love spending time with my husband, our two teenagers and friends. We enjoy traveling together and attending various sporting events.

    This appointment came about because my regular provider became ill the day of my appointment. The scheduler from my provider's office found an opening the same day with Tonya. The appointment went great, Tonya made me feel relaxed, it was a very nice experience.
