Patient/Provider Philosophy
In general, my philosophy is to provide consistent, quality care with a compassionate and patient-centered focus.
Specifically, I want to assure an accurate and complete diagnosis of complex foot and ankle issues. Then, I combine the foot and ankle pathology with an understanding of the complete patient condition, from a medical, social, work and athletic perspective. And finally, I clearly delineate care options, goals and expectations and guide the patient toward his/her maximal level of improvement in a timely and cost-effective fashion.
Personal Interests
Spending time with my family, golfing, running, hunting, playing guitar and traveling.
