About Me

I am an orthopaedic surgeon (not a podiatrist) who specializes in the care of adult foot and ankle problems. I have been blessed with a fantastic family, a fine medical practice, and a fair, but fun golf game. I discovered a gift I possess early in my career understanding that “accepted medical practice” is not necessarily what is best for patient care. Don’t get me wrong, I still perform the standard surgeries, read the pertinent literature, go to the medical meetings, etc. I just don’t consider, for example, the MRI or many surgeries we perform, to be the end all or the ultimate answer. In other words I question everything. As I look around and observe, I always ask myself "why is it done that way?". Unfortunately, when this question is asked out loud I often get in return "thats the way its always been done around here".
