"Having my own foot health issues with a congenital flexible flatfoot deformity, I found my way to the profession of podiatric medicine and surgery. I enjoy helping my patients learn about their foot condition and resolving their symptoms," she says. "I certainly can empathize with many of their concerns. I like to take an individualized approach to each patient in developing a treatment plan and engaging the patient in their own plan of care to achieve their desired outcome."
