About

Philosophy of care

Education provides patients the power to make informed decisions about their health care and what is best for them. I believe in fully educating my patients to ensure they are comfortable with the treatment plans we establish and to help them achieve their best possible outcomes.

Why I entered medicine

I became interested in podiatry after having to see one when I was a child and as a young adult. Foot and ankle conditions can be debilitating. Helping someone overcome such conditions through surgical and non-surgical approaches provides me with the utmost satisfaction and happiness.

Community involvement

I have participated in local seminars on preventive foot and ankle care as well as the "Walk with a Doc" program. I have always been passionate about community service. I developed a committee during my tenure at Temple School of Podiatric Medicine that led to much needed community engagement in Philadelphia. I also strive to stay involved in my church community.

Personal interests

My personal interests are largely centered around my beautiful children, husband and family. We love to spend time outdoors, travel and explore.
