Care Philosophy
I believe patient engagement is an important part of providing high-quality, meaningful care. I encourage patients and their families to share their individual needs, values, expectations and goals so we can work together to develop a treatment plan that fits their lifestyle. I take time to answer questions, explain what to expect and make sure patients understand their options so they can feel comfortable and confident in decisions about their care.
As part of the Foot and Ankle team, I care for patients with a wide range of concerns, from injuries and acute trauma to chronic pain and conditions that affect mobility. Whenever possible, I start with the least invasive, most effective treatment options. When surgery is needed, I work closely with the surgeon, physical therapists and other members of the care team to support patients from preparation through recovery and rehabilitation.
I understand that pain and limited mobility can affect independence, work, hobbies and overall quality of life. My goal is to help patients reduce pain, restore mobility and get back to doing the things that matter most to them.
