About
Philosophy of care
My mission is to get you back into your shoes, back into the sports you love and back into enjoying a pain-free lifestyle. I strive to have a good relationship with the patient before treating the condition and to develop an amicable plan of care. I'm dedicated to ensuring your foot care is as comfortable as possible! You can be confident that you and your family will be treated with compassion, respect and the personal attention you deserve.
Why I entered medicine
I entered the field of medicine because I genuinely love working with people. Every new patient presents a new and exciting challenge. I'm a very hands-on person; I've always loved working with my hands. I enjoy forming a close bond with all my patients! My father has been a podiatrist locally over 40 years. It's an honor to work beside him toward the end of his career.
Community involvement
I help a variety of organizations in Lackawanna County. I speak locally about foot care education and the importance of hygiene and preventive care. I have a particular interest in helping the special needs community, as I have close family members that have difficulty with certain daily activities.
Personal interests
Being with my 2-year-old daughter and beautiful wife! I love skiing, golf and any type of outdoor recreational activity. I take pleasure in doing yard work and remodeling my house.
